I don't believe all of those colors were avalable on the Crossfire. Definitely not the midnight blue. I think we only had,
SSB
GRAPHITE
OYSTER GOLD
ALABASTER
BLAZE RED
BLACK
YELLOW
AERO BLUE
SILVER

Sorry if I missed any.

the Chrysler website lists Bright Silver as an exterior color option, has anyone ever seen one? I recently sold my '05 LTD in silver blue metallic, already looking for my next XF...

I think the bright silver with saddle interior would be PERFECT...

Yes, I have seen a "bright" silver.

They're 06's and up only, I believe.

They really are a true "bright" silver, not anyhting like the SSB.

I just saw a bright silver Xfire this morn. at our local Chrysler dealer. It was parked in the employee side of the lot w/current Oh plates in place. Definately bright silver in appearance which is caught my eye 1st. I can't remember seeing one this color since I became interested in Xfire's last spring.

I found a website a few weeks back that gave the location(s) for paint codes on Chrysler products. Here's the link: http://www.automotivetouchup.com/pai...s/chrysler.htm.

It also shows that the paint code should be listed in small print at the bottom of the vehicle ID label located on the door jamb or driver's door. I didn't look here before but I will when I get home later this week.

I've looked from the engine bay and didn't see a label or stamping at the frame rail. If it is shown at this location, it may be accessible from underneath. Anyone know this?

The dealer I bought my Crossfire from in KCMO advertised the color as Titanium Gray. Haven't found that paint color referenced anywhere in Chrysler searches for the X-Fire. Kind of interested in knowing which color & code my X-Fire is. If I had to pick one from the list provided earlier in this thread, I'd say it was the Jaspis Steel Blue, 'cause the car has a machine steel sort of appearance.

From your description I would say it is Silver Sapphire Blue Metellic. Thats What mine is. The color the dealer told you isnt a Crossfire color that I'm aware of.

I saw a Bright Siver coupe, brand new 2008, in Decatur, Illinois on a dealers lot. It's the only one I've seen. No more special than the other colors, just not a common color on these cars.

Contacted Chrysler to see if I could get copy of window sticker & color code for my 2007 Crossfire. Sent message last Friday (12/26) and got response back today. I'll contact original dealer (Chrysler gave me contact info) to get copy of window sticker. Original dealer is authorized to request copies for 5 years, according to Chrysler. And the color of my 2007 Crossfire is Machine Grey Crystal Pearl Coat (DDR/P17). How 'bout that!

[IMG]file:///F:/Nos%20photos/Crossfire/P1020837.JPG[/IMG]Hi guys,

Trying to find some touch paint for my Xfire. Does somebody know the color code of that one ? I don't even have the name. It's an 06 model.

Thanks

Thanks Deadwards0323.
Just another question in case of :

I bought som etouch up paint for the rims of my Limited Crossfire The Chrysler Part number is 05179660AA. It doesn't really match. Not so happy with it, I decided to remove it. It seems to be more like the color of my jeep !!!
Do you have another idea ?

Cheers

There's an earlier reply in this thread that states the color description for the wheels. Don't know what the corresponding color code is.

I'd recommend that you see if there is an alloy wheel repair service in your area. These guys typically can repair, touch-up paint, etc just about any alloy rim. There's a firm in my area that does this as a mobile service and can fix my rims in my driveway, as long as it's cosmetic work only. They charge somewhere between $40 & $50 per wheel. (Note: Wheel straightening requires them to remove the wheel & take it to their shop.) I've got a small amount of 'curb rash' on the passenger side rims. It was there when I bought the car. The rim repair service said it was no problem fixing & matching the paint.

On a side note, the service I'm referring to performs this for quite a few dealers in my area. The last time I talked to them they were at the Land Rover dealer performing rim repairs on several pre-owned vehicles. Watching them work at the dealer was truly amazing! When they finished a vehicle, the rims looked essentially like new.

Bright Silver does exist I have seen one as well. You can tell when you see it because it really is eye catching.

Thanks Again,

Actually I also have some curb rashes on my wheels I'd like to be taken care of. Do you have the name of that mobile service you are describing ? Maybe they are available in Oklahoma !!
