COLOR CODEKG/FKG - Light Sandstone MetallicChrysler Touch-Up Paint

The Look

This color is a sophisticated, warm champagne that perfectly captures the transitional era of the Chrysler lineup. Whether it is draped over the muscular shoulders of a 300C or the broad panels of an Aspen, this shade was designed to look expensive without being loud. Because your vehicle has likely been on the road since 2009, the original finish has probably mellowed slightly under the sun. It is a forgiving color that hides road dust and light salt spray better than almost any other in the fleet, making it a favorite for the Town & Country and Sebring owners who value a clean look with minimal maintenance.

Technical Details

This is a true metallic finish, which means it relies on tiny flakes to catch the light and create that sandy glow. The challenge with metallics is flake orientation. If the flakes cluster together, you will see dark patches or stripes that make the repair look like a bruise on the door. Before you spray or dab Chrysler Light Sandstone Metallic (check for code KG/FKG), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. This ensures those heavy metallic particles are suspended evenly in the liquid so they lay flat when they hit the surface.

Best Practices

You can usually find your paint code on the manufacturer sticker located on the driver side door jamb, though on some models like the Town & Country, it may also appear on the radiator support bar under the hood. To get the best match, work in a cool garage or the shade rather than direct sunlight. Test the color on the included card first to see how the flakes settle. When you are ready for the real thing, keep the container moving at a steady pace to prevent the paint from pooling. Give the color plenty of drying time between layers, as rushing the process can cause the metallic particles to shift and ruin the uniform look of the finish.
