COLOR CODEW83/PWJ - Sophia WhiteDodge Touch-Up Paint

The Look

Your Dodge Colt comes from an era where functionality was king, and this shade reflects that perfectly. It is a crisp, bright white that lacks any distracting yellow or blue undertones, keeping the car looking sharp and honest. Since your vehicle has been on the road since the nineties, you might find the original finish has softened slightly over time, but this color remains one of the most practical options Dodge ever put on a compact. It provides a clean slate that makes the small frame of the Colt look larger and more modern than its age suggests.

Technical Details

This is a solid finish, meaning there are no metallic flakes or pearls hidden in the mix. While this makes the repair process simpler because you do not have to worry about the orientation of any glitter, it does mean the paint is less forgiving of surface imperfections. Solid whites like this are prone to showing road tar and oil more than darker colors, and they can lose their luster if they sit in the sun for too long without protection. Because there is no metallic to distract the eye, you will want to make sure your surface is perfectly smooth before you begin to avoid highlighting any old nicks or dents.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Dodge Sophia White (check for code W83/PWJ), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. You can find your specific code plate either on the driver's side door jamb or attached to the firewall under the hood near the back of the engine. Once you are ready to work in your garage or the shade, test the color on the included card to ensure the shade matches your current level of fading. When applying, keep the container moving to prevent the paint from pooling or running. Allow for plenty of drying time between your layers to build up a durable, level surface that blends with the rest of the panel.
