Y76/PJH - Greenish Yellow Tri-Coat Pearl Eagle Touch Up Paint

The Look

If you are driving an Eagle in this shade, you are piloting a time capsule from the peak of the 1990s tuner era. This color is anything but subtle. It was designed to turn heads on the street and under the lights, giving the car a high-energy, radioactive glow that perfectly matches the aggressive lines of the Talon. Since your Eagle has likely been on the road for nearly three decades, the original finish has probably seen its fair share of sun. This yellow-green hue is notorious for catching the light in different ways, making it look electric at noon and moody at sunset.

Technical Details

This is a sophisticated Tri-Coat Pearl, which means your repair involves three distinct layers: a base color, a pearl mid-coat, and a clear coat. Unlike a standard metallic, the pearl suspended in the mid-coat creates a prismatic effect. The challenge here is the depth. Because the pearl layer is semi-transparent, the final look depends entirely on how many layers you apply. If you apply too little, the color will look flat and overly yellow; if you apply too much, it can shift too far into a darker green. You are balancing transparency and pigment, so patience is your best friend in the Garage.

Best Practices

You will usually find your paint information on a metal plate or sticker located on the firewall-check near the center or the passenger side-or inside the driver's side door jamb. Before you spray or dab Eagle Greenish Yellow Tri-Coat Pearl (check for code Y76/PJH), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. This is vital because the heavy pearl particles settle at the bottom and must be fully suspended for an even finish. Test the color on the included card first to see how many layers of the mid-coat you need to match your car's current fade. When you move to the car, keep the container moving at a steady pace to prevent the pearl from pooling in one spot. Give each layer plenty of drying time so the finish stays crisp and clear.
