Authentic Chrysler PHG Plum Crazy Purple Metallic Urethane Basecoat Paint – Iconic Mopar High-Impact Color!

Bring back that legendary Plum Crazy Purple (OEM paint code PHG / FHG) – the bold, pearl/metallic purple that defined classic High Impact Mopars and still turns heads on modern Dodge Challengers, Chargers, Jeep Wranglers, and more! This premium urethane basecoat delivers rich depth, excellent flip-flop pearl effect, and strong UV resistance for a show-quality finish.

Key Features & Technical Data:

  • Exact OEM color match to factory PHG (also known as Plum Crazy Pearl, Xtreme Purple, Extreme Purple)
  • High-quality automotive urethane basecoat – sprays smooth, great coverage (typically 2-3 medium coats for full opacity)
  • Pearl/metallic flakes for signature vibrant pop under sunlight
  • Requires 2K clearcoat (not included unless kit or spray can selected) for gloss, durability, and UV protection
  • 60 sources – premium formulation backed by extensive color-matching data for superior accuracy
  • Mix Ratio (Unreduced): 1:1 basecoat to urethane reducer (by volume; use medium/fast/slow reducer based on temp/humidity)
  • Viscosity (Ready to Spray): Typically 13-15 seconds #4 Zahn cup (pre-thinned for easy spraying)
  • Coverage: Approx. 250-300 sq ft per gallon (ready-to-spray) at 0.4-0.8 mil dry film thickness – excellent hiding power
  • Flash Times: 5-10 minutes between coats; 20-45 minutes before clearcoat (at 70°F; adjust for conditions)
  • Pot Life: Indefinite if unreduced and sealed; reduced material ~2-4 hours
  • Dry Film Thickness Recommended: 0.4-0.8 mil per coat (total 1-2 mil basecoat)

Unreduced vs. Ready to Spray – What's the Difference?

  • Ready to Spray (RTS): Pre-reduced right in the can – just shake/stir and spray! No extra mixing needed. Convenient for quick jobs, but you're getting less concentrated paint volume since the reducer is already added (total sprayable amount equals what you buy).
  • Unreduced: Concentrated basecoat – you mix it yourself (typically 1:1 with reducer, or per your preferred ratio). This gives you more actual paint solids per container, better yield, and more flexibility for custom thinning. Ideal if you want maximum coverage or have your own reducer setup.

Kit Sizing Details & Customization Notes:

  • All Pint and Quart sized kits include quart-sized reducer (if selected) and quart-sized 2K clearcoat + hardener for balanced coverage on smaller/medium projects.
  • All Gallon sized kits include gallon-sized reducer (if selected) and gallon-sized 2K clearcoat + hardener – perfect for larger jobs or full vehicle resprays without running short.
  • Reducer & Hardener Options (for kits with reducer/clearcoat): Medium is the default if no preference is specified. For optimal results based on your spray temperature/humidity:
    • Choose Fast (quicker dry/flash for cooler conditions, smaller jobs, or faster turnaround)
    • Choose Slow (longer open time for hotter conditions, larger panels, better flow/leveling) Please message us or include in the order notes when purchasing if you'd like Fast or Slow Hardener for the clearcoat, and/or Fast or Slow Reducer (for Ready to Spray mixes or kits that include reducer). We'll match your selection!

Fresh-mixed to exact PHG factory specs for the best possible match. Great for restorations, custom builds, panel repairs, or refreshing faded factory paint on Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and RAM vehicles.

Application Instructions:

  1. Prep: Surface must be clean, sanded (400-600 grit), and primed. Use pre-paint cleaner.
  2. Mix (Unreduced only): 1:1 basecoat to urethane reducer. Stir thoroughly.
  3. Spray: Apply 2-3 medium wet coats with 50% overlap. Flash 5-10 min between coats (at 70°F). Use HVLP gun: 30-50 PSI (gravity feed) or 10-15 PSI cap pressure.
  4. Final Flash: 20-45 min before applying 2K clearcoat (do not exceed 24 hrs without abrading).
  5. Clearcoat: Apply 2-3 coats of 2K clear (or use Gloss Touch Spray Can for small areas) per instructions for full protection and shine.
  6. Safety: Wear proper PPE (respirator, gloves, suit). Ensure good ventilation. Test spray small panel first for color match.

Important Application Notes:

  • Basecoat only (unless kit or Gloss Touch Spray Can selected) – topcoat with quality clear required for UV protection and shine
  • Always test-spray a small area first – color can vary slightly due to lighting, primer color, application technique, or age of original paint
  • Use proper PPE, ventilation, and equipment (professional use recommended for gun-applied options)
  • Automotive refinishing product – not for household/DIY non-auto use

This is the real-deal Plum Crazy that Mopar fans crave – don't settle for close-enough shades! Whether reviving a '70s classic or adding flair to a modern Challenger Hellcat, this color will make your ride stand out.
