COLOR CODER7/LR7 - Adrenaline RedDodge Touch-Up Paint

The Look

This isn't just another red on a color wheel. Adrenaline Red was the signature war paint for the final generation of the Dodge Viper, designed to look aggressive under the bright lights of a showroom or at a standstill in your driveway. Since your car has likely been out in the elements since 2014, you are working with a high-intensity pigment that defines the American supercar era. It is a bold, unapologetic shade that demands a clean application to maintain that racing pedigree.

Technical Details

This is a solid finish, meaning there is no metallic flake or pearl particles mixed into the liquid. While that makes it easier to blend than a complex metallic, it also means the finish is honest-it won't hide poor prep work. Red pigments are naturally heavier and can settle at the bottom of the container, and they are also more sensitive to sun exposure than other colors. If you notice your repair looks slightly darker than the surrounding panel, it is likely because the original paint has lightened over years of UV exposure.

Best Practices

You can verify your color match by looking at the sticker located on your driver's side door jamb. Before you spray or dab Dodge Adrenaline Red (check for code R7/LR7), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. This is vital for solid reds to ensure the pigment is fully suspended for maximum depth. Test the color on the included card before touching your car to see how the fresh paint reacts to the current shade of your panels. When applying, keep the container moving to prevent the paint from pooling, and allow for plenty of drying time between each light layer to build a durable, level surface. Work in a cool garage or the shade to prevent the paint from drying too quickly before it has a chance to lay flat.
