Hey guys (and girls),

I just found this forum today, somewhat randomly, and being the proud new owner of a Crossfire, thought I would join. So firstly, hello to everyone.

Secondly, I have a question about color codes. I'm interesting in buying a pair of BumperPlugs because my Crossfire came with a front license plate holder. As I'm wanting to remove that, I also want to have the BumperPlugs simply to put in the bumper temporarily.

Would anyone happen to know the three letter code for Machine Greay Crystal Pearl? I couldn't find it anywhere.

Thanks for the help.

Nick

 

Welcome to the forums, Nick. You'll find the people here friendly and informative. Your question about the paint code should be answered soon.

184 - machine gray pearl


welcome by the way!

 

Welcome to the forum. I haven't seen one in that color yet. Enjoy the ride.

 

Well, there's a good chance that I'm wrong about the color. I bought the Crossfire used, but it's a 2005 Crossfire Limited Coupe, 6-Speed Manual, and it only had 40 miles on it when I bought it. It was one of those direct from Chrysler, "It's not NEW, but it's certainly not USED," deals.

Anyways, that may not be the official name of the color. I simply assumed they hadn't changed names between then and the new models due to the consideration.

Would anyone happen to know what the name of the dark metallic grey from 2005 is called, and if so, what its color code would be? That's probably a better way to phrase the question.

Sorry about the confusion, but thank you for the help.

 

I believe the dark grey in the 2005 MY was Graphite Metallic. Not sure what the color code is though as I know Chrysler has had a coupe different variations of Graphite Metallic - two friends of mine have Graphite Metallic Dodge Ram pickups and the shades differ as do the color codes. As I recall one of them matches my 2004 PT Cruiser, but whether that matches a Crossfire painted in Germany......???

 

Welcome to the forum NDL. Just so you know, that dark Gray Metallic responds quite nicely to chrome mods.

 

Here are the 2005 colors......mine's an '07 Machine Grey.....(Crystal Pearl?) Doesn't look like it was available in '05.

Wow, thank you all very much for all of the help. I appreciate it.

 

Is Machine Grey the same as my '04 Graphite Metallic (paint code PDR/ZDR)? If so, let me share my story with you:

A few weeks ago I scraped my rear quarter panel somewhat badly so a painter friend of mine helped me sand down the panel for repainting in his paint booth. When it came time to buy the paint from the auto paint store, the clerk's DuPont color code software recognized that the Crossfire uses a special paint, but the formula wasn't in the computer system (he said this has NEVER happened to him before [as a crossfire owner, I wasn't even surprised]). We knew the paint code, but we were still unable to get the formula to make the paint!

Long story short, we removed my gas lid so they could manually color match the paint. I was concerned about the quality, but they were able to make a PERFECT match.

Hope this helps, good luck! =)

 

I'm new to the forum too and even the dealer I bought mine from didn't know the name of the color but this helped me out. Oyster Gold Metallic. I love it!! Is there any way to find out hw many units were built in a specific color?

 

Don't even try the standard Chrysler Graphite touch up color (Duplicolor)- it looks black compared to the Crossfire Graphite. Either have to get it from the dealeer of just look for a different match. Have not found one on the shelf yet.

 

I encountered that as well. It seems like the Crossfire colors seem to give everyone a little bit of trouble because they aren't standard Chrysler colors (are they?).

I think the whole German/American/Chrylser/AMG/Mercedes/Karman combination threw everyone for a loop.

 

Welcome to the forum. Have the same color in a roadster.
