COLOR CODEHA2/3D/DT9063 - Sterling MetallicDodge Touch-Up Paint

The Look

This silver defines the rugged transition of the early nineties. Whether your project is a Dakota, a Ram Pickup, or a heavy-duty Ramcharger, this color provides a tough, industrial aesthetic that hides road grime better than almost any other shade in the fleet. Because your Dodge has likely lived a full life since 1990, the finish has probably developed a unique character from years of sun exposure. This isn't just a paint; it is the original armor for a decade built on work and durability.

Technical Details

This is a true metallic finish, which means it contains tiny flakes designed to catch the light. This creates a challenge for repairs because if you apply the paint too heavily, those flakes will sink and create dark, muddy patches. You want to avoid a heavy, wet look. Instead, think about building the color through thin, consistent layers. Since the metal particles affect the final shade, the way you move the nozzle or brush dictates how well the repair disappears into the surrounding panel.

Best Practices

Work in a cool garage or the shade to ensure the metal surface isn't too hot to the touch. You can verify your specific match by checking the manufacturing sticker on the driver's door jamb or the radiator support under the hood; look for the "PNT" prefix. Before you spray or dab Dodge Sterling Metallic (check for code HA2/3D/DT9063), you need to shake it for at least 60 seconds to pull those heavy metallic flakes off the bottom. Test the color on the included card to see how the metallic behaves before moving to the vehicle. Keep the container moving at all times to maintain a steady flow and allow for plenty of drying time between your layers.
