The Look

Owning a Medallion means you are driving a rare survivor of the brief marriage between Chrysler and Renault. This color is a direct relic of that era, a time when white was the honest choice for a car that focused more on French-engineered road feel than flashy aesthetics. Because your car is likely a vintage daily driver by now, the original paint has probably gained a little character from the sun. This shade is a clean, no-nonsense white that doesn't try to hide behind metallic tricks, though it will definitely let you know the second your car needs a wash.

Technical Details

This is a solid finish. While it lacks the sparkle of modern pearls, it offers a major advantage for your repair: it is incredibly easy to blend. You do not have to worry about metallic flakes standing on end or creating dark shadows. However, solid whites are notoriously unforgiving when it comes to dust. Any tiny speck of grit that lands in your wet work will show up clearly against the bright background. Since you aren't working in a professional garage, try to find a calm patch of shade and keep a clean cloth nearby to wipe down the area immediately before you start.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Eagle White (check for code 348), you need to shake the container for at least a full minute to get the heavy white pigments moving. You can usually find the identification plate on the driver's side door jamb or stamped onto the metal of the firewall inside the engine bay. Always test the color on the included card first to see how it matches the current state of your hood or door. When applying, keep the container moving in smooth, steady strokes. Use several thin layers rather than one heavy one, and give it plenty of drying time between each pass to avoid runs.
