COLOR CODEDT7776 (1974) - Dark Green MetallicDodge Touch-Up Paint

The Look

This shade is a time capsule from the mid-seventies truck era. It is a deep, forest-toned hue that gives a vintage Dodge D-Series or Power Wagon a grounded, utilitarian presence. Since your truck has likely spent the last few decades out in the elements, this pigment is exactly what you need to restore that original factory weight. It is not a flashy modern green; it is a rugged, outdoorsy color that looks just as right in the woods as it does on a freshly paved road.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, which means it contains tiny flakes designed to catch the light. You need to be careful with your technique here because dark metallics are prone to mottling. If the paint goes on too heavy or too wet in one spot, those flakes will clump together and create dark, blotchy patches. To get a uniform look across your repair, you want to focus on thin, even layers. This allows the metallic particles to lay flat and spread out correctly, preventing the finish from looking tiger-striped or inconsistent under the sun.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Dodge Dark Green Metallic (check for code DT7776 (1974)), you need to shake the container for at least two minutes. You can find your paint code on the driver's side door jamb or on the radiator support under the hood. Always test the color on the included card to see how the metallic shimmer looks before you touch the vehicle. Keep the container moving at a steady pace to ensure the metal flakes distribute evenly. Work in your garage or in the shade, and give each layer plenty of drying time to ensure the repair stays smooth and durable.
