Plymouth Fury Paint Info
The Color Breakdown
Plymouth didn't just paint cars; they curated a vibe. With 22 recorded colors, they really went for it, offering everything from the space-age Turbine Bronze Poly and Electric Blue Poly to the quintessential 70s duo of Avocado Green and Sierra Tan. Whether you're sporting the punchy Hawaiian Blue or the more reserved Sable White, your Fury was designed to be noticed. Most of these shades are "Polychromatic" (that's what the "Poly" stands for), meaning they are packed with metallic life.
What to Watch For
If your Fury's finish looks a little tired, you're likely dealing with one of two classic Mopar traits. Older Furys often have "chalky" paint-where the color looks dull and dusty because the sun has snacked on the surface for forty years. Later models might show what I call the "sunburn effect," where the clear top layer starts to flake away like a bad beach trip.
Before you start, you need your DNA results. Pop the hood and look at the driver-side inner fender for a small metal plate called a Fender Tag. Your paint code is usually a three-digit sequence (like "PP1" for Matador Red) found near the bottom. If it's a later model and you don't see the tag, check the driver's door jamb for a sticker.
Driveway Repair Tip
Since so many of these colors are "Polys," those tiny metallic sparkles are your best friend-but they're lazy. They love to settle at the bottom of your touch-up bottle or can. Shake that container for at least two full minutes (put on a good song, it helps) to wake up the flakes. When you're applying it to a chip, don't try to fill the whole hole at once. Use a "dotting" motion with your brush or pen. Think of it like building a tiny cake: one thin layer, let it dry, then another. It requires patience, but your patience will be rewarded with a much smoother look than one giant, gloopy mountain of paint.
