Hi,
I asked at my local dealer/service department before hand, and they don’t do the touch up paints.

I got the colour mixed by the paint mixers at Halfords. Machine Grey wasn’t in the list of colours from Chrysler, but Crystal Slate was, and it was an exact match.

I did a search for the colour name and Chrysler in Google, and turned up this car:

It seems to be a Viper colour.

Try this site:

http://www.automotivetouchup.com/cho...ge&model=Viper

It lists Slate Crystal as the Viper colour. I can’t tell if the colours are the same or different.

Thanks for the offer of the car - I have a feeling that it may be cheaper for me to do my own. We get those models here, and the dark grey one is pretty close. Maybe I should buy another one and go at it with the colour from Halfords.

 

Paul, Thanks for all the info.

I know that the Inferno Red and Blaze Red are the same paint code, just different years.
And the Machine Gray and Graphite are the same paint code, just different years again.

I'll have to talk to the people I know about the Crystal Slate being a third name for the Machine Gray and Graphite or a different color altogether. It would appear from the info at Automotivetouchup that the paint codes are in fact different. I have gotten the spray cans from them in the past. Guess I'll just have to order the Viper color and compare.

I'll post the results when I find out, unless some here already knows the facts.

 

Nice collection, Andrew. Maybe THAT photo should have been on the cover of the calendar! I don't think we've ever seen a photo of all of the colors in one place.

 

What is this Internet you speak of???

Since I don't have a inferiority complex, I could have pointed out the quality and time in the collections.



Where does your inferiority complex stem from? You word of "tool" beings to everyone's mind the obvious.
It is in opinion that you need a much LARGER car too make up for other short comings.

I was simply making a statement and your superior intellect to not grasp this and instead take offense.

One last thing, before you start name calling,, please know who your talking to on the other end, in other words- Grow a Pair.

PM me! To further is conversation is not appropriate for forum banter.

Maybe you can tell me how this internet thing works?

 

Machine gray and graphite gray are not the same color. I have graphite gray and Lisa has the machine gray. The graphite is much lighter gray than the machine gray.

 

LMFAO!

As I re-read the posts, I find that EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM included something to the effect of "nice collection". If that's what you call "negative" then I'd hate to live in your shoes.

As to the rest of your comments, wow, I have no idea where to start. I'll probably just disregard it as the rantings of a unfulfilled person. I could probably come up with a more concise, coherent, and properly spelled post by dragging my nuts across the keyboard.


BTW....I didn't start the name calling.

 

HAHA-

Sorry I didn't take forum keyboarding 101.

My original post may have been the case of some drunken posting. The GF's been driving me nuts.
It is unlike my character to start any pointless arguments ON-LINE.

Lets just drop this. BTW, I do hope you don't share your keyboard with anyone. I would hate to type on a freshly teabagged keyboard... (Great line by the way)

As I have re-read the posts you are correct and my apologies to all.

Sianora

 

No problem....I'm equally to blame, my apologies to you and everyone else as well!

Just have a cold one tonight and think about this and get a good laugh, I plan to do likewise.

BTW.....I typed that and this on a shared work computer in the metallurgical lab!

 

Frank, thats what my wife said also. She remembers the colors being different when we were at the "Dragon" in the spring. This must mean that my paint guy is wrong. He shows both colors with the same paint code in his books.

Could there be a Chrysler conspiracy here ??? lol,
I'll have to do a little more digging around. Thanks.

 

Tom, now all I have to do is get a better picture !

 

Thanks for the entertainment guys.

HAHAHA!

 

I have the touch-up for the graphite gray and the code on the bottle is 04889702AA.

 

they look fantastic, if your able to make a srt rear spoiler i would surely like to buy a black coupe with the srt spoiler from you as im sure others would as well (not woried about the front bumper and i can change the wheels myself)

 

Count me in for a Aero Blue!!


If this does come to fruition...
