COLOR CODET6/JT6 - Medium Tundra MetallicDodge Touch-Up Paint

The Look

Your Dodge wagon or van likely carries the memories of a decade spent on the open road. This color is the quintessential 1990s teal-grey, a shade that moved away from the boxy browns of the eighties into a more modern, oceanic metallic. It was the backbone of the conversion van era, providing a finish that looked professional and clean even after a long cross-country trip. Because your vehicle has been exposed to the elements for quite some time, the original finish might have shifted slightly, but this color remains a reliable choice for keeping those large panels looking uniform and maintained.

Technical Details

This is a true metallic finish, which means it relies on tiny flakes suspended in the liquid to catch the light. These flakes are heavy and love to sink to the bottom of the container. If they aren't distributed evenly, you will end up with mottling-those dark, cloudy spots or stripes that happen when the metal particles clump together. To avoid this, you have to be diligent about the mix. Before you spray or dab Dodge Medium Tundra Metallic (check for code T6/JT6), you need to shake it for 60 seconds to ensure the metallic shimmer is consistent from the first drop to the last.

Best Practices

To confirm your match, look for the paint code on the manufacturer's sticker located on the driver's side door jamb or under the hood on the radiator support. Before you begin the repair, test the color on the included card to see how the metallic flakes lay down. Whether you are using a nozzle or a brush, the secret is in the layers. Apply the paint in light, thin coats and allow plenty of drying time between them. If you apply it too thick, the color will appear darker than the rest of the body. Always keep the container moving to ensure an even flow and prevent the metallic particles from pooling in one spot.
