Your Paint Color Profile

Y (1961) - Sahara Sand

The Look

This shade captures the understated elegance of the early 1960s Chrysler lineup. It is a solid, clean tan that defined many Newport and New Yorker models during a transition year for American car design. While it lacks the sparkle of later decades, it provides a sophisticated backdrop for the massive chrome bumpers and slanted headlights of your 1961 classic. It is a warm, honest color that feels right at home on a long-wheelbase cruiser or a family station wagon.

Technical Details

Because this is a solid finish without any metallic or pearl particles, you do not have to worry about flakes settling or creating uneven patterns. This makes it a great choice for a direct repair, but solid colors are unforgiving when it comes to surface preparation. Every small ripple or deep scratch will stay visible under a fresh layer of paint, so the smoother your repair area, the better the final result. Since your car has likely been on the road for over sixty years, the original paint may have lightened under the sun, so focus on cleaning the area thoroughly to see the true shade.

Best Practices

You can typically find your paint code on the cowl tag or data plate located on the driver's side of the firewall under the hood. Before you spray or dab Chrysler Sahara Sand (check for code Y (1961)), you need to shake it for 60 seconds to ensure the pigment is properly mixed. Always test the color on the included card before moving to the car to make sure the shade matches the current state of your finish. When you apply the paint, keep the container moving to prevent any pooling or heavy edges. Work in the shade or a garage and give each layer plenty of drying time to ensure the finish remains level and smooth.

ensuring the right match

Find your Chrysler paint code

Chrysler paint codes can be difficult to find. In the good old days, they were on top of the radiator support, often hidden under engine grease and oil. Later models put them on the drivers door jamb. Typical format: BS/GBS, but only BS is the color code; it can also appear as QBS, PBS, TBS, etc., with the first letter as a confusing "Year Code." BS corresponds to Deep Water Blue Pearl Clearcoat; the G in GBS is not part of the color code.

Will absolutely order from this company again.

After ordering touch-up paint from Lexus I was still waiting for it a month later. If they'd told me upfront it would take that long I wouldn't have ordered in the first place. Paint Scratch was recommended by a friend who restores cars. Easy ordering, fair price and fast shipping. The color match is great especially considering my car is a 2012. Will absolutely order from this company again. Reason I chose this business: Lexus collision repair and a local collision repair. Will use paint less dent removal and touch up chipped paint myself. Reason I chose this product: Spouse sideswiped passenger side of car while backing out of garage. Mostly plastic transfer from his wheel well trim but pressure creased and cracked the paint causing a bare strip 1/8 wide x 4" long below door handle. Scratches on door handle and a few small chips on both doors.

Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans

Used Paint Scratch metallic custom mixed spray cans paint on a hood panel with excellent coverage and texture over the surface. Metallic paint can be very unforgiving out of a spray can, sputtering pigmentation dots on the panel being sprayed and thus ruining the paint job. No such issues with Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint spray cans. Paint sprayed strong and evenly till the last drop of paint in the can. Shipping time was faster than expected. Reason I chose this business: Having tried other brands of custom mixed metallic paint with terrible results, sputtering pigmentation tint dots from the spray nozzle in spite of vigorously shaking of can prior to application and loss of propellant rendering the lower fifth of the can's paint useless, Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint sprays out beautifully and strong all the way to the last gram of paint in the can. Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans for automotive restoration. Thank you Paint Scratch.
