2025 Ram ProMaster Paint Codes

Quick reference

Where to find your paint code

For 2025 Ram ProMaster vans, the paint code is typically located on a sticker or label on the driver's side door jamb. Open the driver's door and look for a white or silver sticker that contains various vehicle information. The paint code is usually a three-digit alphanumeric code, often preceded by "PNT" or "C/TR." In some cases, it might also be found in the glove compartment or on the underside of the hood, though the door jamb is the most common location. If you are having trouble finding it, your Ram dealership can provide it using your VIN.

How to use touch-up paint

Achieving a good repair with touch-up paint requires a few steps:

1. Clean the area: Thoroughly clean the chipped or scratched area with soap and water, then wipe with rubbing alcohol to remove any wax or contaminants.
2. Apply primer (if needed): If the scratch goes down to the bare metal or plastic, apply a thin layer of automotive primer and let it dry completely.
3. Apply base coat: Apply thin, even coats of your touch-up paint using a pen, brush, or spray. Allow each coat to dry according to the product instructions before applying the next. Build up the paint gradually until it's level with the surrounding surface.
4. Apply clear coat: Once the base coat is dry, apply a clear coat to protect the paint and restore the shine. Again, apply in thin layers.

Color matching tips for pearls and tri-coats

Pearl and tri-coat finishes, such as Deep Cherry Red, Patriot Blue, or Hydro Blue, are more complex than solid colors. They contain iridescent particles that give the paint a multi-dimensional look. When touching up these colors:

• Expect slight variations: It can be challenging to get a perfect, undetectable repair with touch-up paint on pearl or tri-coat finishes due to the way light reflects off the multiple layers. Even factory new paint can sometimes show slight variations depending on the angle.
• Apply thin layers: The key is to apply very thin, even layers. Building up the pearl effect gradually will help minimize noticeable differences.
• Feathering: When using spray paint, try feathering the edges of the repair into the surrounding original paint to create a more seamless blend.
• Test first: If possible, test your touch-up paint on an inconspicuous area or a test card first to get a feel for how it will look.
