SERVICE
INFORMATION
Exterior vehicle body colors are identified on the
Body Code plate. The plate is attached to the top, right side of the cowl below the cowl grille. The color
code location is described in the manual introduction. OEM paint colors are generally available from all
of the major paint suppliers. They are supplied in the
form of either mixing formulas or factory packaged (pre-mixed) paint. The exterior colors and corresponding Ram Truck,
Chassis Cab and Ramcharger paint codes are listed
in the following chart.
BASE
COAT/CLEAR COAT FINISH
On most vehicles a two part paint application (base
coat/clear coat) is used. Color paint that is applied to
primer is called base coat. The clear coat protects
base coat from ultraviolet light. It also provides a du
rable high gloss finish.
WET SANDING, BUFFING
AND
POLISHING
Minor acid etching, orange peel or smudging in
clear coat can be reduced with light wet sanding,
hand buffing and polishing. If the finish has been wet sanded in the past, it cannot be repeated. Wet sanding operation should be performed by a trained
automotive painter.

(2) Clean affected area with Mopar®Tar/Road Oil
Remover and allow to dry.
(3) Fill the inside of the scratch or chip with a coat
of filler/primer. Do not overlap primer onto good sur
face finish. The applicator should be wet enough to
puddle/fill the defect without running. Do not stroke
brush applicator on body surface. Allow the filler/ primer to dry hard.
(4) Cover the filler/primer with color touch-up
paint. Do not overlap color touch-up onto the original color coat. Butt the new color to the original color if
possible. Do not stroke applicator brush on body sur
face.
Allow touch-up paint to dry hard.
(5) On vehicles without clear coat, the touch-up
color can be lightly (600 grit) wet sanded and pol
ished with rubbing compound.
(6) On vehicles with clear coat, apply clear top coat
to touch-up paint with the same technique as de scribed in step 4. Allow clear top coat to dry hard. If
desired, step 5 can be performed on clear top coat.
