COLOR CODEF5/SF5 - Light Kiwi PearlDodge Touch-Up Paint

The Look

This color is a rare 1996 relic. It appeared on the Dodge Ram and Dakota for just one year, capturing that specific mid-90s era where truck owners started moving away from flat work colors toward earthy, nature-inspired tones. Because your truck has been on the road for decades, you likely have one of the few surviving pickups in this shade. It is a muted, pale green that hides road dust well, but it relies on sunlight to reveal its depth.

Technical Details

You are working with a pearl finish. This means the paint contains tiny mica particles designed to reflect light at different angles. Pearl finishes are prone to mottling, where the color looks blotchy or uneven if the mica settles poorly. If you apply the paint too heavily in one spot, those particles will clump together and create dark shadows. You must maintain a steady spray distance and flow to ensure the finish remains uniform across the panel.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Dodge Light Kiwi Pearl (check for code F5/SF5), you need to shake the container for a full sixty seconds to suspend the pearl particles. On these older Dodge trucks, you can usually find the paint code on the equipment identification sticker located on the radiator support under the hood or occasionally on the driver's door jamb. Test the color on the included card to see how the light hits the mica. When you are ready, work in the garage or shade and keep the container moving at all times. Applying multiple thin layers will help you avoid the dark spots that come from heavy, wet coats.
