2020 Dodge Touch Up Paint (57 OEM Colors)

The 2020 Dodge Vibe

2020 was a strange year for the world, but at Dodge, it was business as usual: stuffing superchargers into everything that moved. While most people were stuck at home, the Challenger and Charger were out there looking like a retro neon fever dream. With a staggering 57 colors in our database for this year, Dodge was essentially running a high-octane crayon factory. You had the classics like Plum Crazy Pearl and Go Man Go, the "modern-flat" trend represented by Ceramic Gray, and the delightfully named Sinamon Stick Metallic. Even the workhorses like the Ram Series and the ProMaster got in on the action with shades like Patriot Blue Pearl. And yes, our records show a color called Garbage Can-which, to a salty painter like me, is exactly where I'd put most other brands' color palettes compared to this variety.

Paint Health Check

Welcome to the Thin Paint Era. By 2020, factory robots had mastered the art of "efficiency," which is code for applying the absolute minimum amount of paint required to cover the metal. If you own a Durango or a Ram, look closely at the leading edges of the hood and the flared fenders; they are rock-chip magnets because there just isn't much "meat" to the clear coat. You might also notice "orange peel"-that slightly bumpy texture that looks like the skin of a citrus fruit-which is a hallmark of the high-speed factory application process. On white models like Bright White, keep an eye out for "rail dust" (tiny orange rust dots) or adhesion issues around the roof gutters. The paint is beautiful, but it's brittle.

Restoration Tip

Since 2020 factory paint is applied so thin, the biggest mistake you can make is "blobbing." When you're fixing a chip on that Frost Bite Pearl or Sublime Metallic, don't try to fill the entire crater in one shot. If you drop a giant bead of paint in there, it'll shrink as it cures and leave a visible ring. Instead, build your repair in two or three paper-thin layers. Think of it like the robots do, just with more soul. Let each layer dry fully before adding the next until you're just slightly below the surface of the surrounding clear coat. This mimics the factory's depth and keeps the repair from popping out the first time you hit the car wash.
