COLOR CODE1726 (1967) - Turf GreenDodge Touch-Up Paint

The Look

This color is a straight-talker. It belongs on the side of a Sweptline Dodge that spent its prime years hauling lumber or parked near a fence line. It is a humble, grassy green that captures the mid-century utility aesthetic perfectly. Because your truck has been out in the elements since the late sixties, the original finish has likely taken on a flatter, more matte character over time. This green does not hide behind a bunch of sparkle; it stands on its own as a piece of industrial history.

Technical Details

This is a solid finish, which is good news for your repair project. You do not have to worry about metallic flakes settling at the wrong angle or creating dark patches. However, solid colors like this are very honest. If you apply the paint too heavily in one spot, it will show the build-up. The goal is to build the color in thin, even layers. If you rush the drying time between those layers, you might end up with a finish that looks gummy instead of hard and smooth.

Best Practices

You can usually find your paint code on the driver's side door pillar or sometimes on a plate attached to the radiator support under the hood. Before you spray or dab Dodge Turf Green (check for code 1726 (1967)), you need to shake it for 60 seconds to make sure the pigment is fully mixed. Always test the color on the included card before you touch your truck to ensure the match is right for your specific level of fading. When you are ready to apply, keep the container moving to maintain a consistent flow and prevent the paint from pooling in one spot.
