Plymouth All Other Models Paint Info
The Color Breakdown
Plymouth didn't just pick colors; they picked personalities. With a massive catalog of 280 recorded colors, they really went for it. You'll find everything from the neon-fever of Lemon Twist and Sun Fire Yellow to the moody, late-90s vibes of Deep Hunter Green Pearl and Wildberry Pearl. Whether your Plymouth is a vintage cruiser or a 90s daily driver, it likely has a shade that was designed to stand out in a parking lot, not blend into the background.
What to Watch For
Finding your paint code on a Plymouth can feel a bit like a scavenger hunt. If it isn't on a sticker in the driver's side door jamb, pop the hood. You're looking for a metal tag on the strut tower or the radiator support-though, fair warning, these tags often hide under a layer of engine grime, so keep a rag handy. Regarding the paint itself: Plymouths from the 80s and 90s were known for "sun-scald," where the clear coat starts to lift and peel on the roof and hood. If you see a chip, catch it early before the edges start to curl!
Driveway Repair Tip
Since so many of these colors are Pearls or Metallics (like that Strawberry Pearl Metallic), the secret is in the shake. Those tiny shimmering flakes love to settle at the bottom of the bottle. Shake your touch-up pen or brush for a full two minutes-long after you think you're done-to wake up the sparkles. When applying, don't try to "paint" a long line. Instead, use the tip to dab small dots of paint into the center of the chip and let it flow to the edges. It requires a bit of patience, but it keeps the repair level and clean.
