Some Chrysler paint manufacturing codes come in two forms, the short 1 to 3 digit model/year code which changes frequently and a longer code which does not change. One of these longer codes which we track is the DT or Dodge Truck or Fleet code. This code starts with the letters "DT" and ends in a 4 digit number. Codes in the DT8000 to DT8999 range are generally blue shades. These DT codes do not change over the years for a particular paint formulation; therefore, it is the best code to track the usage of Chrysler paint.
In many cases Chrysler has assigned DT codes to popular paint from other manufacturers to use as special order paints. The DT paint set is one of the few that includes many of the official
US Military paint colors.
In this case, DT8816 appears to be a special order paint for a popular early paint named
Gulfstream Aqua by Ford.
