1967 Chrysler Touch Up Paint (35 OEM Colors)

The 1967 Chrysler Vibe

1967 was the year Chrysler decided that if you were going to drive a land yacht, you were going to do it in high definition. Between the top-tier Imperial and the rest of the lineup, our database tracks a massive 35-color palette. This wasn't just a choice; it was an era of decadence where a man could choose between Turbine Bronze Poly-a nod to Chrysler's jet-engine experiments-or the deep, brooding Plum Red Poly. These cars had more sheet metal than most modern parking lots, and the paint was laid on thick enough to survive a minor fender-bender without showing a scratch. It was the peak of the "Poly" era, where metallic flakes were added to the mix to make sure those massive fins and slabs of chrome caught every bit of the afternoon sun.

Paint Health Check

We are firmly in the Single Stage Era here. In '67, Chrysler used "Lustre-Bond" acrylic enamel. Unlike the thin, layered stuff they use today, this paint has the pigment and the protection mixed into one heavy-duty slab. The legend says it's bulletproof, but the reality is that it's prone to "The Chalky Ghost." Because there's no clear coat to shield the pigment, the sun eventually cooks the oils out of the surface. If your Aegean Blue Poly or Forest Green Poly looks like it's been dusted with flour, that's Oxidation. The paint isn't necessarily gone, but it is dying of thirst. If you let that chalky fade go too far, the moisture gets into the pores and starts the slow crawl of rust under the edges.

Restoration Tip

The golden rule for 1967 enamel: It needs wax or it dies. If you're touching up a chip in Silver Mist Poly or Flame Red, you can't just slap paint over oxidation. You have to "climb through" the dead paint first. Use a dedicated paint cleaner or a light rubbing compound to remove that chalky layer until you see the true, vibrant color underneath. Once you've performed your repair, seal the entire panel with a high-quality carnauba wax or a modern sealant. Without that barrier, the single-stage enamel is essentially "open" to the elements, and it will start fading the second you pull it out of the garage. Keep it fed, keep it waxed, and that deep '60s glow will stay put.
