M (1967) - Bronze Irid.Dodge Touch Up Paint

The Look

This shade represents the peak of the 1967 earth-tone trend that dominated the Dodge lineup. Whether it was on a high-trim Monaco or a hard-working Coronet, this color provided a sophisticated, metallic warmth that looked expensive without being flashy. Because your car has lived through decades of sun and road wear, the original bronze has likely developed a unique character. This color is excellent at hiding light road dust and minor surface imperfections, making it a very forgiving choice for a driver-quality restoration.

Technical Details

The iridescent label in the name tells you that this is a metallic finish. The paint relies on tiny reflective flakes to give it depth and a slight shift in tone when you walk around the vehicle. This creates a specific challenge during application because those flakes like to clump together. If you stay in one spot too long, you will end up with dark, blotchy patches known as mottling. To avoid this, you must maintain a steady rhythm and keep the container moving to ensure the metallic particles distribute themselves evenly across the surface.

Best Practices

On your 1967 model, you can usually find the color information stamped on the metal fender tag located on the driver side inner fender well under the hood. Before you spray or dab Dodge Bronze Irid. (check for code M (1967)), you need to shake the container vigorously for at least sixty seconds. The heavy metallic pigments often settle at the bottom and require a lot of energy to mix back into the solution. Test the color on the included card first to see how well it blends with the current state of your paint. Work in a shaded garage to prevent the sun from shortening your drying time, and apply thin layers rather than one heavy coat to keep the flow smooth.
