Your Paint Color Profile

DS/LDS/385 - Anvil

The Look

You chose a color that doesn't hide behind sparkles. This shade defines the modern Ram series aesthetic, specifically gaining fame on the rugged TRX and North Edition trims. It looks like heavy machinery and carries heavy blue undertones that shift in character depending on the weather. In the sun, it feels like a bright slate, while overcast skies bring out a deep, tactical battleship gray. Since your truck has likely spent time on the job site or the trail since 2021, the original finish might have aged slightly, but this pigment captures that heavy, industrial vibe that made the color a fan favorite.

Technical Details

This is a solid finish. While it lacks the complexity of metallic flakes, it demands a different kind of precision. Without any shimmer to distract the eye, any high spots or uneven layers will stand out against the flat surface. Solid grays are notorious for showing visible ridges if you apply the paint too heavily in one spot. You want to build the color with several thin layers rather than one thick coat. This strategy ensures the repair remains level with the surrounding area and prevents the patch from looking like a raised scar on your bodywork.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Dodge Anvil (check for code DS/LDS/385), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. You can find your official code on the manufacturing sticker located on the driver's side door jamb, usually listed next to the letters PNT. Once the pigments are thoroughly mixed, test the color on the included card to confirm the shade matches your truck. Whether you are using a nozzle, a pen, or a brush, keep the container moving to ensure the paint flow remains even. Work in your garage or the shade to keep the metal cool, and allow ample drying time between each light pass.

ensuring the right match

Find your Dodge paint code

Older Dodge paint codes were placed on top of the radiator support, often obscured by engine grease and oil. Later models list them on the drivers door jamb. The typical format is BS/GBS, but only BS is the color code; it can also appear as QBS, PBS, TBS with the first letter as a confusing Year Code. The G in GBS is not part of the color code. BS corresponds to Deep Water Blue Pearl Clearcoat; lately codes are simply listed as BS.

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.
