Your Paint Color Profile

RR-1 (1968) - Red (PPG50749)

The Look

This is a deep, sophisticated shade that provides a refined presence. While the 1968 catalogs featured loud, bright colors for muscle cars, this Burgundy Poly was the choice for a more mature look on full-size models and trucks. It creates a dark, rich appearance that changes depth when the sun hits the metallic flake. Since your vehicle has been on the road for decades, the original finish might have shifted in tone, but this fresh layer will return that factory elegance to the panels.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, which means the paint contains small flakes to reflect light. Metallic paints carry a risk of mottling, a condition where the flakes cluster together and create dark streaks or blotches. You must maintain a steady flow and consistent spray distance to prevent this. If the paint pools in one spot, the metallic particles sink and ruin the uniform look. You want to build the color with light layers to keep the flakes suspended in the finish.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Dodge Red (PPG50749) (check for code RR-1 (1968)), you need to shake the container for a full minute. You can find your paint code stamped on the metal fender tag located on the driver-side inner fender. To get a good match, keep the container moving to ensure the metallic particles do not settle. Test the color on the included card to confirm the shade matches your current paint before you touch the vehicle. Work in your garage or shade to keep the metal cool and allow for proper drying time between each layer.

ensuring the right match

Find your Dodge paint 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.
