COLOR CODEC-9119-E (1960) - Klondike YellowDodge Touch-Up Paint

The Look

This is the soul of a 1960 Power Wagon or Sweptline. It isn't a shy, pastel lemon; it is a hardworking, high-visibility shade that defined the American job site sixty years ago. Since your truck has likely spent decades working under the sun or hauling through the mud, this yellow provides a punchy restoration of that original industrial grit. It represents a specific moment when Dodge trucks transitioned from simple farm tools into bold symbols of mid-century capability. It is bright, unapologetic, and looks best when it is clean enough to reflect the morning sun in your driveway.

Technical Details

This is a solid finish, which makes your job much easier than if you were dealing with a complex metallic. You do not have to worry about tiny flakes bunching up or creating dark streaks in the finish. However, solid yellows are notoriously thin when it comes to coverage. If you apply it too thin, the color will look weak; if you apply it too thick, it will sag. The secret is patience. Because it lacks metallic particles, the color is very stable, but it will highlight any surface imperfections or dust trapped underneath. Clean your repair area twice before you start.

Best Practices

You can usually find your data plate riveted to the driver's side door pillar or tucked inside the glove box door. Before you spray or dab Dodge Klondike Yellow (check for code C-9119-E (1960)), you need to shake the container for at least sixty seconds to wake up the heavy pigments that settle at the bottom. Always test the color on the included card before touching your truck to see how the new paint interacts with your vintage finish. Work in a ventilated garage or the shade rather than direct sunlight. Whether you are using a nozzle or a brush, keep the container moving to maintain an even flow. Allow plenty of drying time between light layers to build up the depth of the yellow without causing runs.
