COLOR CODEAZ/LAZ - Agate (Interior color)Dodge Touch-Up Paint

The Look

This color is the defining shade of the late-nineties Mopar revolution. If you are sitting in a Dakota or a Durango from the turn of the millennium, you are looking at the deep, charcoal-toned workhorse of the Dodge lineup. It was designed to be utilitarian and rugged, grounding the cabin of the Neon and Intrepid with a dark, serious base that hides the reality of daily use. Because your vehicle has likely been on the road for over two decades, this interior plastic often develops a chalky appearance or picks up pale scuffs that stand out against the dark background. Refreshing these high-traffic areas brings back that factory-fresh weight to the cabin.

Technical Details

This is a solid, non-metallic finish with a specific low-gloss sheen. Unlike exterior body paint, interior colors rely on a matte or satin texture to prevent dashboard glare. The benefit of a solid color is that you do not have to worry about metallic particles settling unevenly or creating stripes. However, the risk here is build-up. If you apply the paint too heavily in one spot, it will transition from a factory matte to an unintentional semi-gloss. Since your original interior has likely faded slightly from UV exposure, a light touch is your best friend to ensure the new pigment blends into the surrounding plastic without creating a "wet" look.

Best Practices

You can find your trim code on the silver VIN sticker located on the driver's side door jamb, usually listed under the "TRM" or "Trim" heading. Before you spray or dab Dodge Agate (Interior color) (check for code AZ/LAZ), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. This is vital for interior paints where the flattening agents tend to settle at the bottom of the container. Test the color on the included card to confirm the shade and sheen match your specific panel. When you begin the repair in your garage or the shade, keep the container moving at all times. Use thin, light layers and allow plenty of drying time between them. This patience prevents the paint from pooling and preserves the original grain of the plastic.
