COLOR CODEPXT - Q BallDodge Touch-Up Paint

The Look

Your Hornet is part of a new breed for Dodge, and choosing this clean, clinical white shows you value a sharp, high-contrast look. It is a bright, no-nonsense shade that makes the aggressive lines of the compact SUV stand out without the distraction of heavy sparkle. Because it lacks metallic flakes, it provides a deep, uniform glow that looks modern and expensive when it is clean. The downside of such a pure white is that it will never hide road grime or iron fallout. You will notice every speck of dirt, so keeping a fresh coat of wax on the surface is the best way to make your future cleanups easier.

Technical Details

This is a solid finish, which is actually great news for your repair. Unlike metallic or pearl paints that rely on tiny flakes of metal or mica to create a shimmer, this color is consistent all the way through. When you apply Dodge Q Ball (make sure you see code PXT on your label), you do not have to worry about the orientation of the paint particles or the finish looking darker from different angles. Solid whites are the most forgiving for blending into existing panels because there is no metallic flop to manage. However, because the color is so stark, any dust that lands in your wet paint will be visible, so try to work in a clean garage or well-protected shade.

Best Practices

Before you start, open your driver's side door and look at the jamb to verify your code on the VIN sticker. Once you are ready, shake your container for a full minute to ensure the pigments are perfectly mixed. Test the color on the included card before you touch the car to confirm the shade matches your current finish. When applying, keep the container moving to avoid heavy build-up in one spot. If you are using a spray, maintain a consistent spray distance and flow to get an even coat. Let each layer have enough drying time before adding the next, as rushing the process can lead to runs in the finish.
