GG7 - Dark Forest Green Metallic Dodge Touch Up Paint

The Look

This is a 1988 classic that defined the rugged, outdoorsy vibe of that era. You usually find this deep shade on the boxy Dodge RAM, the burly Ramcharger, or the original Caravans. It is a brooding, moody green that looks more like a forest shadow than a bright leaf. Since your Dodge has been on the road since the late eighties, the original finish has likely weathered a bit, but this color still carries that heavy, utilitarian aesthetic that modern greens just cannot replicate.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, which means the look depends entirely on how the tiny flakes settle as the paint dries. Metallic paints carry a specific risk called mottling, where the metal particles bunch together and create dark, cloudy patches or stripes. This happens when the paint is applied too heavily in one spot or if the container is not moved at a steady pace. If you let the paint pool, those flakes will sink and the finish will look uneven and muddy instead of crisp and deep.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Dodge Dark Forest Green Metallic (check for code GG7), you need to shake it for 60 seconds to wake up those heavy metallic particles. You can find your code on the driver side door jamb sticker or on the radiator support bar under the hood. Test the color on the included card first to see how the light hits the metallic flake before you touch the vehicle. Work in a cool garage or the shade to prevent the paint from drying mid-air. Keep the container moving at all times to ensure an even flow, and give the surface plenty of drying time between layers to prevent sags.
