COLOR CODEY5/PY5 - DozerDodge Touch-Up Paint

The Look

This color is an absolute shout. While it spent its early years as a high-visibility staple for Jeep, it eventually found its home on the legendary 2017 Viper as part of the "1 of 1" program. It isn't just a yellow; it is a heavy-duty, industrial orange-yellow that feels right at home on a car designed to break records. Because your car likely sees high speeds and road debris, these chips can be eyesores against such a saturated, bright background. Matching it correctly is the only way to keep that aggressive, factory-fresh presence on the road.

Technical Details

This is a solid finish, meaning you won't find any metallic flakes or pearl additives hiding inside the mixture. While this makes for a deep, uniform look, solid colors like this are very revealing. Without the sparkle to distract the eye, any unevenness or dust will show up as a shadow or a bump. Yellow and orange pigments are also notoriously thin. You might find that the first pass looks a bit transparent, so resist the urge to glob it on. Multiple thin layers will give you the heavy, opaque finish you need without the risk of runs.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Dodge Dozer (check for code Y5/PY5), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. You can usually find this paint code on the manufacturer sticker inside the driver's side door jamb. Since those heavy pigments like to settle at the bottom, shaking is the only way to ensure the color stays true from start to finish. Test the color on the included card before you move to the car to verify the hue against your specific panel. Always work in the shade to manage the drying time effectively, and keep the container moving to maintain a consistent flow across the repair area.
