Dodge Viper Touch Up Paint (70 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Dodge didn't just paint the Viper; they dressed it for a fight. With 70 recorded colors, they really went for it, ranging from the quintessential Viper Red to the "look at me" brilliance of Snakeskin Green Pearl and the high-depth Stryker Red Tricoat. Whether you're sporting a classic 90s primary shade or a modern, multi-stage pearl, the Viper is proof that Chrysler's design team wasn't afraid of the bold side of the color wheel.

What to Watch For

Because the Viper sits low enough to shave the pavement, "road rash" on the front bumper and side sills is almost a rite of passage. You'll also want to keep a close eye on the areas near the side-exit exhausts and the massive hood vents; the sheer heat from that V10 can sometimes cause the clear coat to get a little cranky, leading to tiny bubbles or premature fading. When you're ready to fix those chips, you'll find your three-character paint code (look for "PNT:") on the driver's side door jamb sticker. If it's not there, check the radiator support under that mile-long hood.

Driveway Repair Tip

If you're working with one of the Viper's famous pearls or "Stryker" tricoats, those tiny flakes of magic like to settle at the bottom of the bottle. Shake your touch-up pen or bottle for a full two minutes-long after you think you're done-to wake up the metallic spark. When applying, remember that the Viper's body is composite, not metal, so it doesn't dissipate heat the same way. Work in the shade on a cool surface, and apply the paint in thin, whisper-light layers. If you're tackling a deeper chip, several thin coats will always look smoother than one big "blob" of color.
