COLOR CODERY/JRY - Redline PearlDodge Touch-Up Paint

The Look

This is the color that defined the modern Mopar resurgence. It turns a standard Charger, Challenger, or Ram Series truck into a machine that looks fast even while parked in your garage. Since your car has spent time on the road, you have noticed how this red reacts to the light. It is not a flat, simple color; it is a deep, high-energy shade that pulses under the sun. It captures the spirit of the muscle car era with a depth that makes the body lines of your vehicle look sharp and purposeful.

Technical Details

You are working with a pearl finish, which is more complex than a standard solid red. This paint contains specialized mica flakes that reflect light to create that signature glow. The main challenge here is mottling, which happens when those flakes cluster in patchy spots. If you apply the paint too heavily in one area, the repair will look darker or cloudy compared to the rest of the panel. Getting a uniform look requires a focus on building the color in light layers rather than trying to cover the damage all at once.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Dodge Redline Pearl (check for code RY/JRY), you need to shake it for 60 seconds to wake up the heavy pearl pigments at the bottom. You can find your specific paint code on the driver side door jamb sticker, often listed next to the PNT label. Test the color on the included card before you touch the car so you can see how the depth builds with each pass. When you begin the repair, keep the container moving to ensure the flakes distribute in a uniform layer across the surface. Give the paint plenty of drying time between applications to avoid trapping moisture, which can dull the final shine. Work in the shade to keep the metal temperature stable while you work.
