COLOR CODE9299 (1967) - Gold Tan MetallicDodge Touch-Up Paint

The Look

This color represents the height of 1967 truck utility with a touch of mid-century class. It was designed for the D-Series and W-Series pickups that were expected to work hard while still looking sharp in a driveway. Because your Dodge has likely spent over half a century on the road, the original finish has developed a unique character that can be difficult to replicate with a simple flat paint. This shade is more than a basic tan; it is a working-man's gold that masks road dust and desert silt while maintaining a subtle glow under the sun. It remains a practical choice for a vintage truck that you still intend to use and drive.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, which means it contains tiny flakes that reflect light at different angles to create depth. Because of this flake content, the way you apply the paint is just as important as the color itself. If you apply it too heavily in one area, the metallic particles will cluster together and create dark, muddy spots known as mottling. This happens because the flakes sink into a wet pool of paint rather than laying flat on the surface. To get a professional look in your garage or shade, you need to build the color in light, even layers so the flakes stay suspended exactly where they belong.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Dodge Gold Tan Metallic (check for code 9299 (1967)), you need to shake the container for at least sixty seconds. Those metallic flakes are heavy and love to settle at the bottom, so thorough mixing is the only way to ensure the gold tones match the rest of your truck. You can usually find your paint code on the metal data plate riveted to the driver's side door pillar or sometimes under the hood on the radiator support. Always test the color on the included card before touching the bodywork to see how it reacts with your specific lighting. Keep the container moving at a steady pace to maintain a consistent flow and allow plenty of drying time between each thin layer for the best result.
