The Look

Your Stratus Coupe is carrying a color that barely had a chance to exist. This shade was a one-year wonder for 2005, making it a rare sight on the road today. It sits in a sophisticated pocket between a cold silver and a warm champagne. Because your car has spent two decades in the sun, the original finish has likely shifted from how it looked on the showroom floor. This color is excellent at hiding road dust, but it requires a patient hand to get a repair that blends with the aged panels.

Technical Details

This is a true metallic finish, packed with tiny flakes that provide its depth. The challenge with these pigments is that they like to clump together if you apply the paint too heavily. If the flakes do not lay down flat and even, you will see dark spots or stripes where the color looks uneven. Before you apply any Dodge Silver Beige Metallic (verify code S13/PK1 on the sticker inside your driver's door jamb or the passenger side firewall), you must shake the container vigorously for at least a minute to wake up those heavy metallic particles.

Best Practices

To get a clean finish in your garage or a patch of shade, keep the container moving across the surface to prevent the paint from pooling. If you pause for even a second, the beige will look darker in that spot. Test the color on the included card first to see how the flakes settle under your specific lighting. Apply thin, light layers and give each one plenty of drying time. This discipline ensures the silver and gold tones merge into a single, uniform surface rather than looking like a splotchy patch.
