Your Paint Color Profile

F-9 (1978) - Augusta Green S/F Metallic

The Look

This shade is a time capsule from the tail end of the seventies. It is a deep, forest-inspired green that captures the move away from the loud, high-impact colors of the muscle car era toward something more grounded and mature. Since your vehicle has likely been on the road since 1978, the original finish has probably darkened or weathered. This color was a staple for utility vehicles and standard sedans of the year, providing a look that is both rugged and understated.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, which means it contains tiny particles designed to catch the light. While these flakes provide depth, they are also prone to mottling-those annoying dark spots or tiger stripes that appear if the paint is applied unevenly. If you move too slowly, the metallic flakes will bunch together and ruin the uniform look. You need to maintain a steady flow and consistent spray distance to ensure the particles lay flat and reflect light the way they did when the car left the factory.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Dodge Augusta Green S/F Metallic (check for code F-9 (1978)), you need to shake the container for at least sixty seconds. Those heavy metallic flakes like to settle at the bottom, and if they aren't mixed, the color will look dull and flat. You can find your paint code stamped on the metal fender tag located on the driver side inner fender or on the door jamb sticker. To ensure the match is right for your aged paint, test the color on the included card first. Keep the container moving across the surface to prevent pooling, and allow plenty of drying time between layers to let the metallic flakes set properly. Work in a cool garage or the shade to keep the paint from drying too fast on the surface.

ensuring the right match

How to Find Your Dodge's Color Code

Older Dodge paint codes were placed on top of the radiator support, often obscured by engine grease and oil. Later models list them on the drivers door jamb. The typical format is BS/GBS, but only BS is the color code; it can also appear as QBS, PBS, TBS with the first letter as a confusing Year Code. The G in GBS is not part of the color code. BS corresponds to Deep Water Blue Pearl Clearcoat; lately codes are simply listed as BS.

Will absolutely order from this company again.

After ordering touch-up paint from Lexus I was still waiting for it a month later. If they'd told me upfront it would take that long I wouldn't have ordered in the first place. Paint Scratch was recommended by a friend who restores cars. Easy ordering, fair price and fast shipping. The color match is great especially considering my car is a 2012. Will absolutely order from this company again. Reason I chose this business: Lexus collision repair and a local collision repair. Will use paint less dent removal and touch up chipped paint myself. Reason I chose this product: Spouse sideswiped passenger side of car while backing out of garage. Mostly plastic transfer from his wheel well trim but pressure creased and cracked the paint causing a bare strip 1/8 wide x 4" long below door handle. Scratches on door handle and a few small chips on both doors.

Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans

Used Paint Scratch metallic custom mixed spray cans paint on a hood panel with excellent coverage and texture over the surface. Metallic paint can be very unforgiving out of a spray can, sputtering pigmentation dots on the panel being sprayed and thus ruining the paint job. No such issues with Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint spray cans. Paint sprayed strong and evenly till the last drop of paint in the can. Shipping time was faster than expected. Reason I chose this business: Having tried other brands of custom mixed metallic paint with terrible results, sputtering pigmentation tint dots from the spray nozzle in spite of vigorously shaking of can prior to application and loss of propellant rendering the lower fifth of the can's paint useless, Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint sprays out beautifully and strong all the way to the last gram of paint in the can. Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans for automotive restoration. Thank you Paint Scratch.
