Where to find Eagle color code

How to Find Your 1988 Eagle's Color Code

Where to find the Eagle paint color code: Determined directly by Eagle. When a color code is not present, the designated reference is the PPG or Dupont (Axalta) paint formula number. Practically, the source for the code is Eagle; lacking a code, identification proceeds by the PPG or Dupont (Axalta) formula number. This outlines that Eagle handles color codes, while PPG or Dupont (Axalta) formulas apply if a code is absent.

1988 Eagle Background Info

The 1988 Eagle Vibe

1988 was the year Chrysler took the reins of the AMC/Renault leftovers and gave us the Eagle Premier-a car that looked like it came from the future but was built with the growing pains of a new era. The color palette was peak "late eighties sophistication," trading the garish oranges of the seventies for high-shimmer metallics and early pearls. We're talking about a lineup of 10 shades that leaned heavily into that "executive on a budget" look, featuring the moody Dark Baltic Metallic, the surprisingly deep Dark Cherry Pearl Metallic, and enough variations of Driftwood Metallic to satisfy any tan-loving enthusiast in a Members Only jacket.

Paint Health Check

If you're staring at an original 1988 Eagle today, you're looking at a survivor of "The Peeling Era." This was the wild west of Basecoat/Clearcoat technology. Manufacturers were ditching the old-school single-stage paints for a two-step system that promised a "wet look" forever, but they hadn't quite figured out how to make the clear coat stick to the color when the sun started beating down. On an Eagle, the clear coat on the roof and hood is likely thinner than your chances of finding a working Premier transmission. When that clear coat fails, it doesn't just fade-it delaminates, flaking off in sheets like a bad sunburn. If you see white "clouding" under the surface of your Sterling Metallic or Vivid Red, the bond is already gone.

Restoration Tip

In this era, once the clear coat starts "zippering"-where it lifts and peels away from the base-the game is almost over. Your best defense is a proactive offense: Seal every single rock chip immediately. On these late-eighties finishes, a tiny chip is an invitation for moisture and air to crawl under the clear coat and start the delamination process. Use a high-quality solvent-based touch-up to fill the divot and seal the edge of the clear. If you catch it early, you can stop the "peel-back" before it turns your Dark Cherry Pearl into a patchwork quilt of gray primer.
