PVE - Tangerine PearlDodge Touch Up Paint

The Look

Dodge didn't do subtle in 2007. Whether you are patching up a Charger, an Avenger, or a Magnum, this color represents a specific era of high-impact muscle. It is a loud, confident orange that demands attention even from three lanes over. Since your car has lived through nearly two decades of sun and weather, the finish has likely matured. This isn't just a flat paint job; it's a deep, vibrant tone that gives your vehicle back its original factory attitude.

Technical Details

This is a true pearl finish, which means it relies on translucent mica to catch the light. Unlike a standard metallic that uses aluminum bits for sparkle, this pearl creates a soft, liquid-like glow that changes depth depending on your angle. The danger with pearls is "mottling"-if you apply the paint too heavily in one spot, the mica particles won't stand up correctly, leaving you with dark, blotchy patches. You want to build your layers thinly to ensure the finish looks consistent across the repair area.

Best Practices

Open your driver's side door and look at the manufacturing sticker on the jamb; you will find your paint code there, usually at the bottom near the "PNT" heading. Before you begin working with Dodge Tangerine Pearl (verify code PVE on your tag), you must shake the container for at least sixty seconds to properly suspend those heavy pearl pigments. When you apply it, keep the container moving to prevent the paint from pooling or sagging. Always test the color on the included card first to see how many layers you need to match your car's current fade. Ensure you allow enough drying time between each pass so the pearl sets exactly where it lands.
