Your Paint Color Profile

DT7762 (1974) - Avocado Metallic

The Look

This color is the definitive uniform of the 1974 Dodge truck lineup. It captures a specific moment in automotive history where utilitarian workhorses began to embrace the earth-toned style of the seventies. While it carries a heavy dose of green, the gold and silver undertones give it a personality that shifts depending on whether your truck is parked in the garage or out in the direct sun. Since your vehicle has likely spent decades facing the elements, the original finish may have matured into a flatter, more olive tone than the fresh pigment you are about to apply.

Technical Details

Because this is a true metallic finish, you are working with suspended flakes that provide that signature depth. These particles are heavier than the green pigment, meaning they will settle at the bottom of your container almost immediately. If you do not mix them thoroughly, you will end up with a flat, muddy green that lacks the factory shimmer. You also need to watch for mottling, which happens when those metallic flakes bunch together in dark clusters or stripes. To avoid this, maintain a consistent movement and a steady flow across the surface.

Best Practices

Before you begin to dab or spray Dodge Avocado Metallic (verify you have code DT7762 (1974) on your door jamb or radiator support), shake the container for at least two minutes. You need to hear that mixing ball working to get the flakes back into the solution. Test the color on the included card first to see how the metallic settles before you touch your truck. If you are working in your garage, ensure the temperature is mild to keep the drying time consistent. Apply the paint in thin, even layers, and always keep the container moving to ensure the finish remains uniform.

ensuring the right match

How to Find Your Dodge's Color 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.
