1995 Dodge Touch Up Paint (89 OEM Colors)

The 1995 Dodge Vibe

Welcome to 1995, the year Dodge decided that every vehicle in their lineup should look like it was ready to eat a smaller car. From the "Big Rig" styling of the Ram 1500-which single-handedly changed truck design forever-to the unapologetic, door-handle-melting heat of the Viper RT/10, Dodge wasn't playing it safe. If you weren't hauling the soccer team in a Bright White Caravan, you were probably trying to keep a Flame Red Dakota from looking like a giant rolling tomato. We've locked in the essential survivors for this year, focusing on the high-impact reds and the fleet-standard whites that defined the Mopar roads.

Paint Health Check

Now, let's talk shop. If you're looking at an original 1995 Dodge today, you're likely dealing with "The Great Peeling." This was the heart of the Delamination Era. Back then, the industry was still perfecting the bond between the basecoat and the clear coat, and Dodge's formulas were notoriously "allergic to the sun." If your roof or hood looks like it's suffering from a bad case of road-rash or the clear is flaking off in translucent sheets, you've got clear coat failure. Once that top layer lifts and the basecoat is exposed to the elements, it's only a matter of time before the metal starts thinking about turning back into dust.

Restoration Tip

If you've still got some clear coat left but you're seeing those tiny "star-burst" chips, you need to move fast. In this era, a chip isn't just a cosmetic flaw; it's an entry point for moisture to get under the clear and start lifting the edges. My advice? Seal those chips immediately. Use a steady hand and a fine-tip applicator to fill the void. If the clear has already started to flake around the edges, carefully feather them down with a high-grit paper before touching up, or you'll just be painting over a gap that's destined to grow. Treat every chip like a breach in the hull-plug it now, or watch the whole side of the bed peel off by next summer.
