COLOR CODEH39/PSB - Dark Gray Metallic (Cladding)Eagle Touch-Up Paint

The Look

This color is the hallmark of the mid-90s two-tone aesthetic. Designed specifically for the lower body panels and plastic trim of the Eagle Talon and Vision, it provides a rugged, industrial contrast to the main body color. Because it lives on the lower cladding, your original paint has likely endured years of road salt and gravel. This dark metallic shade is excellent at hiding light road grime, but the finish can look dull if the clear coat has failed over the decades.

Technical Details

This is a true metallic finish, which means it contains tiny flakes designed to catch the light. These flakes are heavier than the pigment and will settle at the bottom of the container quickly. If you do not mix them thoroughly, the repair will look like a flat, muddy gray instead of a crisp metallic. There is also a risk of mottling-where the flakes clump together and create dark spots-so you must ensure the container stays agitated during the entire process to maintain a consistent flow.

Best Practices

Locate your paint ID tag on the driver's side door jamb or on the radiator support bar under the hood. Before you spray or dab Eagle Dark Gray Metallic (Cladding) (check for code H39/PSB), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. Test the color on the included card to verify the flake density matches your trim. When applying, keep the container moving to prevent the metallic particles from pooling in one spot. Since this is a basecoat, you will need to apply a clear coat once the drying time is complete to bring out the depth of the metal and protect the finish from future road debris in the garage or shade.
