Finding Your Dodge Avenger's Paint Code: A Step-By-Step Guide

Dodge Avenger owners are known for their passion for their cars. If you're looking to repair some scratches or just give your Avenger a fresh coat of paint, you'll need to know your paint code to get an exact colour match. The paint code is usually located on the manufacturer's sticker, which could be in a few different places depending on your Avenger's model and year. Once you've found the sticker, you can use the code to order touch-up paint that will perfectly match your car's original paint job.

Paint codes are located on the manufacturer's sticker

Paint codes for a Dodge Avenger can be found in a variety of places, depending on the model and year. However, they will always be located on the manufacturer's sticker, also known as the VIN tag sticker.

The manufacturer's sticker can be found in several places, including the wheel well on the passenger and driver's side, and the driver's door jamb. The paint code may be difficult to spot on the sticker due to the amount of information on it. To make it easier, look for the letters "PNT" next to the paint code, which stands for ""Paint Code".

Dodge paint codes are typically two to three digits long and contain both letters and numbers. They often start with the letter "P" and can be found in the left corner of the manufacturer's sticker label.

It is important to note that the colour name may not always match the actual paint code. For example, the colour name "Challenger Mango Tango Pearl" could be different from the "Charger" colour, even if they look similar. Always use the code listed on your vehicle when purchasing touch-up paint.

Dodge paint codes are 2-3 digits long

Dodge paint codes are typically two to three digits long and are usually a combination of numbers and letters. They can be found on the manufacturer's sticker, which is located in a variety of places depending on the model and year of the vehicle. For example, they may be found on the wheel well on the passenger or driver's side, or on the driver's door jamb. The paint code will be located underneath the barcode in the middle of the tag and will be next to the "PNT" title, which stands for "Paint Code". An example of a Dodge paint code is "PPK", which is a typical format with the letters "PNT:" before the code.

It is important to note that Dodge has used different methods for placing their colour ID tags in the past. Older models may have their colour ID tags on top of the vehicle's radiator support, making it challenging to locate due to engine oil and grease. However, newer models have the colour ID tag placed on the driver's door jamb, making it easier to access.

Use the code on your vehicle when purchasing touch-up paint

When repairing scratches or scrapes on your Dodge Avenger, it is essential to use the correct paint code to ensure a perfect colour match. Dodge, like all manufacturers, uses the same paint colour across multiple models but gives each model a different colour name. For example, BS or Deep Water Blue Pearl Clearcoat could also be called Blue Clearcoat or Ocean Clearcoat.

Dodge paint codes can sometimes be challenging to find. In the past, Dodge placed their colour ID tags on top of the vehicle's radiator support, making them difficult to locate due to engine oil and grease. However, newer Dodge models have the colour ID tag on the driver's door jamb. The typical Dodge colour code format is: PNT: PRV, where PNT stands for Paint Code. A Dodge colour code usually consists of three digits, including numbers and letters, and often starts with the letter "P".

Once you have located the paint code for your Dodge Avenger, you can purchase touch-up paint in various forms, such as spray paint, jars with applicators, or touch-up paint pens. Spray paint is ideal for repairing large areas, while jars are perfect for smaller scrapes. Dodge touch-up paint pens are suitable for small and quick paint jobs.

To achieve the best results when using touch-up paint on your Dodge Avenger, it is recommended to follow these steps:

• Wash the damaged paint area with soap and water.
• Use a wax and grease remover on the area.
• Apply masking tape around the scratched area to protect the surrounding paint.
• Remove rust using sandpaper or a wire brush, and then apply a rust converter.
• If the surface is unpainted, apply primer before the touch-up paint.
• Apply several thin coats of touch-up paint, allowing each coat to dry for 10-20 minutes.
• After the final coat, let the paint dry thoroughly, typically overnight.
• Apply several thin coats of clear coat, drying for 10-20 minutes between each coat.
• Allow the clear coat to dry overnight or longer if the temperature is below 70 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Optionally, use a rubbing compound to achieve a smooth and shiny finish similar to the original paint.
