Find Your Dodge Colt Paint 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.

The Color Breakdown

For a car that started as a modest commuter, the Dodge Colt didn't hold back on the personality. Dodge recorded a staggering 129 colors for this model, ranging from the adventurous Spitfire Orange and Sunburst Yellow to the surprisingly poetic Pink Frost Mist Metallic. They really went for it in the '70s and '80s-if you own a Colt, you aren't just driving a car; you're driving a specific vibe. Whether you're sporting Spice Poly or Sea Green Poly, your car was clearly designed by someone who wasn't afraid of a little "pizazz."

What to Watch For

First things first: let's find your "ID badge." On most Colts, you're looking for a small metal tag. Pop the hood and check the firewall (the back wall of the engine bay) or the radiator support (the metal frame right behind the headlights). The code is usually three characters long. Now, the reality: these older finishes were prone to what I call "The Great Mopar Fade." If your red or blue looks a little thirsty, or if the clear coat is starting to flake off like a bad sunburn, don't panic. It's a common quirk of the era, but it's nothing a little patience and a steady hand can't improve.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since so many Colt colors are "Poly" (that's old-school speak for metallic), your biggest challenge is getting those tiny sparkles to behave. When you're using a touch-up pen or brush, shake the bottle for a full two minutes-longer than you think you need to. Those metallic flakes are heavy and like to nap at the bottom of the tube. When applying, think "thin and patient." If you glob it on, the metallic bits will bunch up and look darker than the rest of the car. Two or three thin "whisper coats" will keep Pacific Blue Poly looking like the ocean instead of a bruise.

Before you order Dodge Colt paint

How do I confirm the right color for my Dodge Colt?

Use the paint code from the Dodge Colt label and match it to the color page before ordering. The model page narrows the list, but the paint code decides the match.

Where do I find the paint code for Dodge Colt?

For the Dodge Colt, start with the make-specific code guidance: 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. If the label is missing, ask a dealer parts department for a VIN lookup before ordering paint.

Why should I use the paint code instead of the color name?

The paint code is safer than the color name. Similar names can appear on different years, models, or makes.

What if the code is missing?

Use the paint code guide, check other label locations, or ask a dealer to look up the code by VIN before ordering.

Can trim, bumper, or finish differences affect Dodge Colt touch up paint?

Yes. Body paint, trim paint, wheel paint, textured parts, and special finishes can use different materials or codes for Dodge Colt. Match the exterior paint code for body-color repairs, and verify a separate finish before ordering paint for trim, wheels, or unpainted parts.

What product should I choose for Dodge Colt repair?

For Dodge Colt repair, use a pen for tiny chips, a bottle for small chips or short scratches, a spray can for larger areas that can be masked, and PRO sizes for panel or spray-gun work. Choose a kit when the repair also needs primer, clearcoat, sanding, or polishing supplies.
