Your Paint Color Profile

ZZ-1 (1966) - Spice Gold Poly

The Look

This isn't the flashy, yellow-heavy gold of the 1980s or the bronzed tan of the 1990s. In 1966, Chrysler went for a more sophisticated, mid-century vibe that many collectors call "Citron Gold" because of its subtle greenish undertone. Since your vehicle has been on the road for over half a century, you will likely notice that the color looks different depending on the light. It can shift from a cool metallic tan in the shade to a glowing champagne under the sun. It was an available choice for all models in 1966, from the entry-level Newport to the massive New Yorker, and it remains one of the most era-accurate ways to show off those long, horizontal body lines.

Technical Details

The "Poly" in the name means you are dealing with a metallic finish. These tiny flakes are what give the car its depth, but they also make the repair a bit more technical. If you apply the paint too heavily in one spot, the metal flakes will bunch together and create a dark, muddy patch known as mottling. To avoid these stripes or blotches, you must ensure the flakes lay down evenly. Before you spray or dab Chrysler Spice Gold Poly (check for code ZZ-1 (1966)), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. This ensures the heavy metallic particles at the bottom of the container are fully mixed with the pigment so your repair doesn't end up looking like two different colors.

Best Practices

To verify your match, look under the hood. Most 1966 Chryslers have a metal fender tag screwed to the driver-side inner fender. Look at the bottom row of text on that tag; the exterior color code is usually located right under the letters "PNT" or "PAINT." Once you have confirmed the code, test the color on the included card. When you move to the car, apply the paint in thin, light layers. Whether you are using a brush or a nozzle, keep the container moving to prevent the gold flake from pooling. If you are working in your garage or a patch of shade, let each layer dry completely before adding the next. This patience prevents the metallic finish from shifting while it sets, keeping the repair flush with the original factory paint.

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.
