T (1967) - Medium Copper Irid. Dodge Touch Up Paint

The Look

1967 was a year that fully embraced rich, earthy metallics. Since your car has been on the road for over half a century, the original finish has developed its own character through decades of sun and age. This copper shade wasn't just a choice for the Charger; it defined the aesthetic for various Coronet and Polara models as well. It is a color that feels warm and deep in the sun but remains grounded, capturing the transition from the bright pastels of the early sixties to the muscle car tones of the late sixties.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, which the factory referred to as an "Iridescent." These paints rely on tiny metallic flakes to create depth and catch the light from different angles. The primary challenge with a copper metallic is mottling-those dark splotches or uneven stripes that appear if the flakes are not distributed properly. If the paint goes on too heavy or if the application is inconsistent, the metal particles will bunch up and ruin the uniform glow. You need those flakes to lay flat and even across the panel to get the right look.

Best Practices

You will find your paint information on the metal fender tag located inside the engine compartment on the driver-side inner fender. Before you spray or dab Dodge Medium Copper Irid. (check for code T (1967)), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. Because those metallic particles are heavy, they sink to the bottom of the container quickly. Test the color on the included card to check the flow and the density of the flakes. When you move to the car, work in a garage or the shade and keep the container moving to ensure the finish remains uniform. Allow plenty of drying time between light coats to prevent the metallic particles from sagging or drifting into splotches.
