Your Paint Color Profile

DT6443 (1974) - Medium Gold Metallic

The Look

This shade is the definitive 1974 vibe. It was a staple for the D-Series pickups and the legendary Ramcharger, offering a look that was half workhorse and half weekend cruiser. Because your Dodge has likely been on the road for five decades, the existing paint has probably developed its own character. This gold is deep and warm, designed to hide the dust of a gravel road while still catching the sun. It is a rugged, earthy metallic that feels right at home on a truck with a history.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, which means the paint is loaded with tiny flakes that provide its signature glow. Metallic paints can be temperamental because those flakes need to lay down flat and even. If you apply the paint too heavily, the flakes will bunch up and create dark, blotchy patches known as mottling. The goal is to let the gold particles "float" into a uniform layer. If the finish looks uneven, it usually means the paint was applied in a layer that was too wet or thick, causing the metal to sink.

Best Practices

Before you apply Dodge Medium Gold Metallic (verify code DT6443 (1974) on your driver's side door jamb or the firewall tag), you must shake the container for at least two full minutes. The heavy metallic particles in this 1974 formula settle quickly, and if they aren't fully mixed, your repair will look thin and dull. Do not skip this step. Test the color on the included card first to see how the fresh gold reacts with your aged finish. When you start, keep the container moving at a constant speed to prevent the metal flakes from pooling. Allow plenty of drying time between light layers to ensure the metallic structure stays locked in place.

How to Find Your Dodge's Color Code

Older Dodge paint codes were placed on top of the radiator support, often obscured by engine grease and oil. Later models list them on the drivers door jamb. The typical format is BS/GBS, but only BS is the color code; it can also appear as QBS, PBS, TBS with the first letter as a confusing Year Code. The G in GBS is not part of the color code. BS corresponds to Deep Water Blue Pearl Clearcoat; lately codes are simply listed as BS.

Will absolutely order from this company again.

After ordering touch-up paint from Lexus I was still waiting for it a month later. If they'd told me upfront it would take that long I wouldn't have ordered in the first place. Paint Scratch was recommended by a friend who restores cars. Easy ordering, fair price and fast shipping. The color match is great especially considering my car is a 2012. Will absolutely order from this company again. Reason I chose this business: Lexus collision repair and a local collision repair. Will use paint less dent removal and touch up chipped paint myself. Reason I chose this product: Spouse sideswiped passenger side of car while backing out of garage. Mostly plastic transfer from his wheel well trim but pressure creased and cracked the paint causing a bare strip 1/8 wide x 4" long below door handle. Scratches on door handle and a few small chips on both doors.

Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans

Used Paint Scratch metallic custom mixed spray cans paint on a hood panel with excellent coverage and texture over the surface. Metallic paint can be very unforgiving out of a spray can, sputtering pigmentation dots on the panel being sprayed and thus ruining the paint job. No such issues with Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint spray cans. Paint sprayed strong and evenly till the last drop of paint in the can. Shipping time was faster than expected. Reason I chose this business: Having tried other brands of custom mixed metallic paint with terrible results, sputtering pigmentation tint dots from the spray nozzle in spite of vigorously shaking of can prior to application and loss of propellant rendering the lower fifth of the can's paint useless, Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint sprays out beautifully and strong all the way to the last gram of paint in the can. Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans for automotive restoration. Thank you Paint Scratch.
