CHRYSLER car paint 

Among the colour codes of American vehicles, we find the Chrysler colour codes. Many of us have probably never heard of them - and may never need them in our lifetime - but for some, their existence comes to light after an accident, a minor scrape while exiting a car park, or worse, following vandalism while the vehicle was parked outdoors.

The manufacturer's colour code becomes essential if you wish to purchase the correct paint. This paint will be required to respray, for exemple, a car door - after straightening the panel,  applying sealant, then a primer. Then comes the application of the paint using the brand's colour code, followed by a topcoat. These are the standard steps any professional body painter performs in their workshop.

For individuals, these operations are entirely possible - and can yield near professional results - provided you research and familiarise yourself with the procedure in advance. Even with a spray gun or compressor, it is still possible to carry out all the stages of a professional paint job. If you do not intend to become a painter this weekend, and your insurance is covering the repairs, then you'll most likely hand over the vehicle to a body shop. The garage will then retrieve the necessary colour code and apply the appropriate paint.

This article is dedicated to anyone wishing to explore the world of bodywork painting or undertake their own vehicle repairs at home using aerosols - with paint orderd from a manufacturer, who will ask for the colour code.

Where to find the colour code on your Chrysler vehicle ?

Locating the code is relatively simple. As explained in the next paragraph, Chrysler vehicles follow the same coding structure as most over manufacturers. Worldwide, this system involves a code consisting of a few letters and/or numbers. As an added layer of identification, a colour name is also used - often composed of two or three words to describe the shade (e.g. Fire Red). This commercial name can also be used to retrieve the paint formula and will assist during your online order. Please note: the colour name may vary depending on the country of origin. It may be in French, Italian, English or German, depending on the brand. Therefore, when searching a colour code in a computerised paint system, you must use the original name, not a translated version. The database recognises only the name in the language of the car  manufacturer's country.

The Iconic colours of Chrysler vehicles

There are not truly iconic colours for this well-known American brand. This is largely due to an international trend of colour harmonisation across all vehicle manufacturers. The automotive market is global - and brands cannot afford to adapt paint options to the preferences of each continent. Trends have become universal, with a clear dominance of white and black, followed by metallic shades.
