Is MR8 the same as AY70MR8?

  • Manufacturer codeMR8Usually the one on your car’s label
  • Standard numberAY70MR8

A single factory colour is often recorded under more than one code: the manufacturer’s own code, an industry standard number, and a supplier code. They all mix to the same paint. The code printed on your vehicle’s paint label is the one to match.

Will MR8 match my Dodge if the paint has faded?

The kit is mixed to the MR8 formula — the same code printed on your vehicle’s paint label — not colour-matched by eye. On panels that still carry their factory paint, that reproduces the original tone.

Where it will not match

  • Panels bleached by years of sun sit lighter than the factory formula. The kit reproduces the original colour, not the faded one.
  • A panel that has already been resprayed is no longer the factory colour, so the code will not describe it.
  • Metallic and pearl finishes are harder to blend across a large area than solid colours — they are at their best on chips and thin scratches.
  • Damage larger than a few centimetres, or down to bare metal over a wide area, is body-shop work.

Top Tier Kit comes with EVERYTHING you need to handle the touch up job.

Purchased the kit that is recommended for the Dodge Grand Caravan White. I was initially concerned I had a broken paint bottle waiting for me when I grabbed the package from the mail, because I could smell paint fumes. I…
