Repainting the silver frame above the windshield ?
Repainting the silver frame above the windshield ?
The top silver color bracket above the windshield needs repainting. Can anyone please tell me what the Chrysler paint number is ( or any brand spray paint that matches ) . I took the car into the local dealer this morning for service and the Service Manager said he didn't know. So, I need some help....again Thanks

I would look up the code on a '07 or '08 Bright Silver Met Crossfire, I believe that color was almost a direct match to the windshield trim and door handles; I also heard that the Chrysler Silver PS2 was a match; Indium Silver (crossfire) 05179660AB is stated to also be close to a match.
I hope the above helps,
Dave

If the surround is a match to the wheels, then here's the wheel color...
XZA - Crossfire Satin Silver 05179660AB
From a previous thread about matching the surround color...

Ok guys, time to close this epic search. Ready for some laughs? I went to this guy who has an eye for color, he mixed me up a pint of PPG paint, $90. I thouhgt in the can it looked a little dark. I asked about some Lacquer thinner, which I use to clean my guns, he said a store just up the road called Colors has it. So I went and it's a PPG store. Out of curiosity I asked if he could mix paint code XZA, he looked in his book and said silver trim for a Crossfire? I had him do a pint of the inexpensive kind $27. Came home did 2 color cards, guess what? The cheapo PPG was spot on, the 90$ stuff just a shade too dark. So there you have it, go to PPG store ask for XZA. Voila! I would recommend the $90 stuff though, it's a better quality paint.

I believe that Chrysler PS2 is the same as the XZA, I'm not sure why the 2 codes but the SSB code has 2 different numbers also. No one has explained this satisfactorily to me yet.

How did you cut and apply your carbon fiber vinyl? Did you do it all by hand? or, did you use a plotter/cutter? I have a Roland vinyl cutter and if you have accurate vector files to cut the front surround I would be interested...Peace

Martin. I did it all by hand...just be sure to leave enough to cover the edges and enough to fold on the back of the piece...it gives it a finished look...Carl
