Where to find your paint code
The paint code for your 2016 Ram 2500 is located on the driver's side door jamb. Look for a sticker that says "Vehicle Information" and you will find the paint code listed under "Paint."
Best touch-up paint sources
- Dupli-Color: Dupli-Color offers a wide range of touch-up paint products, including pens, bottles, and aerosol cans. You can find their products at most auto parts stores.
- AutomotiveTouchup: AutomotiveTouchup is a great option for custom-mixed touch-up paint. They can mix any color to match your vehicle's factory paint job.
- T-Coat custom-mix: T-Coat is another company that offers custom-mixed touch-up paint. They are a good option if you are looking for a high-quality product.
- Dealer: You can also purchase touch-up paint from your local Ram dealer. This is a good option if you want to be sure that you are getting the exact same paint that was used on your vehicle at the factory.
How to use touch-up paint
- Clean the area: Before you apply touch-up paint, it is important to clean the area thoroughly. This will help the paint to adhere properly.
- Primer: If the scratch or chip is deep, you may need to apply a primer before you apply the touch-up paint. This will help the paint to cover the damage and prevent it from showing through.
- Base: Apply the touch-up paint in thin, even coats. Allow each coat to dry completely before you apply the next one.
- Clear: Once you have applied the touch-up paint, you will need to apply a clear coat. This will protect the paint and give it a glossy finish.
Color matching tips for pearls and tri-coats
- Pearls and tri-coats can be tricky to match. The color can look different depending on the angle at which you are looking at it. It is important to view the paint from different angles to make sure that it is a good match.
- If you are not comfortable matching the color yourself, it is best to take your vehicle to a professional. They will be able to match the color perfectly and ensure that the repair is done correctly.
