COLOR CODEVG/HVG - Mango Tango PearlDodge Touch-Up Paint

The Look

Since your vehicle has been on the road for over a decade, you know this isn't a shy color. Dodge used this shade to make the Ram Truck and the Charger stand out in a sea of gray and white. It is a deep, saturated orange that leans toward copper in the shade but pops with energy when the sun hits the panels. Whether it is on an Avenger or a Dakota, this finish was designed to highlight the aggressive body lines that defined the late-2000s Mopar era.

Technical Details

This is a Pearl finish, which means the paint is loaded with mica particles rather than simple pigment. These flakes are what give the color its depth, but they can be temperamental during application. If you do not keep the container moving, those flakes can bunch up and create dark stripes or uneven patches. Because it is a pearl, the final shade depends heavily on your layering. Fewer layers will look lighter and more orange, while more layers will deepen the copper tones.

Best Practices

You will usually find the paint code on the driver's side door jamb on the white VIN sticker. Before you spray or dab Dodge Mango Tango Pearl (check for code VG/HVG), you need to shake it for at least 60 seconds. The mica particles settle at the bottom of the container quickly and need to be fully suspended for a proper match. Test the color on the included card to see how the flakes lay down before you touch the car. Keep your spray distance or flow consistent and allow for plenty of drying time between thin layers to avoid building up too much material in one spot.
