How to match paint accurately
The factory code is more reliable than a photo or a browser swatch. Lighting, ageing and previous repairs can affect how the finish appears.
Other 2016 finishes
The 2016 RAM palette also included Bright White, Granite Crystal Metallic and other colours. Availability varied by model and configuration; check the exact paint code rather than guessing from a colour name.
Check the sticker before ordering touch-up paint
PXR is identified as Brilliant Black Crystal in the official Mopar paint catalogue. Some paint references also show AXR as an associated code. Have a body shop or supplier verify the actual vehicle label before blending a pearlescent finish.
Use the correct model-year manual and current service information. Stop if instructions or safety precautions are unclear, and use a qualified technician for work you cannot verify.
