L (1967) - Dark Turquoise Irid.Dodge Touch Up Paint

The Look

This color is a deep, moody dive into 1960s aquatic cool. Since your car has likely been on the road for over half a century, you know that this teal-heavy shade is a chameleon; it looks nearly black in the shade but glows with a rich, jewel-toned green when the sun hits it. This was the era of the Charger and the Coronet, and this dark turquoise gave those aggressive bodies a sophisticated, almost expensive edge. Because the original finish on your Dodge has likely aged under decades of UV light, expect your new touch-up to look a bit deeper and more vibrant than the surrounding panels until it fully cures.

Technical Details

The "Irid" in the name stands for iridescent, which is a vintage way of saying this is a metallic finish. These tiny metallic flakes are what give the color its depth, but they are also what make it a challenge. If you apply the paint too heavily in one spot, the flakes will sink or cluster together, creating a dark, muddy look often called mottling. To avoid this, you must rely on thin, even layers. Metallic colors are less about covering the surface in one go and more about building a consistent "cloud" of flake that reflects light evenly across the repair.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Dodge Dark Turquoise Irid. (check for code L (1967)), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. On a 1967 Dodge, you will usually find that paint code stamped on the metal fender tag located on the driver's side inner fender, just under the hood. To ensure the flakes are distributing correctly, test the color on the included card first. Whether you are using a pen or a nozzle, keep the container moving across the surface to prevent the paint from pooling. Give the area plenty of drying time between your light coats to ensure the finish stays crisp and the metallic particles stay right where you want them.
