COLOR CODE33-1 (1965) - Pink Silver PolyChrysler Touch-Up Paint

The Look

This is not the loud, candy-shell pink you might expect from the name. Instead, you are looking at one of the most sophisticated finishes of the mid-sixties. It is a refined, metallic silver that carries a distinct rosy glow when the light catches the curves of your 1965 model. Because it was available across the entire lineup, from the sleek Newport to the massive Imperial, it was designed to look expensive rather than flashy. Over the decades, these silvers tend to take on a warmer champagne hue, so keep the age of your original paint in mind as you prep your repair in the shade.

Technical Details

Since this is a metallic finish, the tiny aluminum flakes are the stars of the show. The challenge with any metallic color is ensuring those flakes lie down flat and even. If you apply the paint too thick in one spot, the flakes will bunch together, creating dark, muddy patches that ruin the shimmer. You want the silver and the pink undertones to dance together. Before you spray or dab Chrysler Pink Silver Poly (check for code 33-1 (1965)), shake the container for a full sixty seconds to lift those heavy metallic particles from the bottom.

Best Practices

You can verify your color match by looking at the metal data plate under your hood. Depending on when your car was built in 1965, this tag is either on the firewall or the right front inner fender well. Before you touch the car, test the color on the included card to see how the metallic flakes settle. Whether you are using a nozzle or a brush, keep the container moving to prevent the paint from pooling. Apply thin, light layers and allow plenty of drying time between them. This patience ensures the metallic finish stays uniform and matches the factory depth.
