COLOR CODET (1968) - Medium Green IridDodge Touch-Up Paint

The Look

This shade is a time capsule from the height of the muscle car era. While it was available across the entire lineup, it looks most at home on the sweeping lines of a Charger or the aggressive stance of a Coronet. It is a sophisticated, mid-tone green that balances a deep forest mood with a sharp, bright personality. Because this was a one-year color for the 1968 season, it carries a certain level of rarity that sets your car apart from the more common high-impact colors seen at every local show.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, which means the paint is packed with tiny flakes designed to catch the light. This creates a beautiful depth, but it requires a careful hand. If the metallic particles are not distributed evenly, you might see dark patches or stripes across the repair area. Since your car has likely been on the road since the late sixties, keep in mind that the original paint has probably faded slightly due to UV exposure. This might make your fresh touch-up appear a bit darker than the surrounding panel until it fully cures and settles.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Dodge Medium Green Irid (check for code T (1968)), you must shake the container for at least sixty seconds. Those metallic flakes are heavy and like to sink to the bottom, so thorough mixing is the only way to get an accurate match. You can find your paint code stamped on the metal fender tag located on the driver side inner fender or occasionally on the radiator support. Always test the color on the included card first to see how the metallic behaves. When you are ready to apply it in your garage or the shade, keep the container moving in steady, even passes. This movement ensures the flakes lay flat and prevents the color from looking blotchy. Give the paint plenty of drying time between light layers rather than trying to cover the damage in one heavy coat.
