COLOR CODEPRH - Blaze Red Crystal PearlPlymouth Touch-Up Paint

The Look

This red is not your standard fire-engine variety. Originally found on 2007 models like the European Voyager and Grand Voyager, this color was designed to give a functional family vehicle a more sophisticated, premium presence. Because your car has likely spent nearly two decades facing the elements, the original finish might have darkened or lost some of its initial pop. This specific shade relies on depth to look its best, shifting from a bright, fiery center to a deeper, wine-like tone as the light moves across the panels.

Technical Details

This is a pearl finish, which means it contains translucent flakes that reflect light differently than a standard metallic. While it offers a richer look, pearls can be temperamental. If you apply the paint too heavily in one spot, the pearl particles will clump together and create dark splotches or stripes. To avoid this, you must focus on thin, even layers. The goal is to build the color gradually rather than trying to cover a scratch in a single pass. If the layers are uneven, the repair will look like a different shade even if the paint is a perfect match.

Best Practices

You can find your paint code on the driver's side door jamb; look for a sticker with a barcode and the letters PNT followed by your code. Before you spray or dab Plymouth Blaze Red Crystal Pearl (check for code PRH), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. This is non-negotiable for pearls because the heavy flakes settle at the bottom of the container. Test the color on the included card to ensure the shade is right before moving to your car. When applying, keep the container moving and maintain a consistent distance from the surface. Work in a dry, covered area like a garage or the shade to prevent the sun from forcing the paint to dry too quickly. Give it plenty of drying time between layers to ensure the finish stays smooth and level.
