Your Paint Color Profile

2C - Slate Blue Metallic

First Impressions

This isn't just blue. It's the color of a cold morning in 1982. It's serious. Professional. You'll see it clinging to the wood-paneled flanks of an Eagle wagon or the sharp lines of a Spirit. It's a muted, moody shade that helped the Concord look like it actually belonged in the executive parking lot. It doesn't scream for attention. It earns it.

Technical Details

Metallic. That's the keyword here. This finish is packed with tiny silver flakes that give the blue its depth. But those flakes are heavy. They want to sink. If you get lazy, you'll end up with a blotchy, dark mess. It's a great color for hiding minor road grime, but it's less forgiving during the repair. One heavy pass and you've got stripes. Keep your layers thin.

Best Practices

Check your radiator support or the driver's side door jamb for the ID tag. Before you spray or dab AMC Slate Blue Metallic (check for code 2C), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. Hard. The flakes must be suspended to get that factory look. Test the color on the included card first. When you're ready, work in the garage or the shade. Keep the container moving at all times to prevent the metallic from pooling. Let it sit and watch your drying time between coats.

ensuring the right match

How to Find Your AMC's Color Code

AMC paint codes are hidden on top of the radiator support; engine grease and oil often make them impossible to read. Typical format is BS/GBS; only the BS portion is the color code. It can also appear as QBS, PBS, TBS, etc. The first letter is the Year Code, which makes color codes confusing. BS corresponds to Deep Water Blue Pearl Clearcoat. The G in GBS is not part of the color code. Lately AMC lists codes as BS. AMC has many two tone combos on some cars and often omitted the secondary color information.

Will absolutely order from this company again.

After ordering touch-up paint from Lexus I was still waiting for it a month later. If they'd told me upfront it would take that long I wouldn't have ordered in the first place. Paint Scratch was recommended by a friend who restores cars. Easy ordering, fair price and fast shipping. The color match is great especially considering my car is a 2012. Will absolutely order from this company again. Reason I chose this business: Lexus collision repair and a local collision repair. Will use paint less dent removal and touch up chipped paint myself. Reason I chose this product: Spouse sideswiped passenger side of car while backing out of garage. Mostly plastic transfer from his wheel well trim but pressure creased and cracked the paint causing a bare strip 1/8 wide x 4" long below door handle. Scratches on door handle and a few small chips on both doors.

Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans

Used Paint Scratch metallic custom mixed spray cans paint on a hood panel with excellent coverage and texture over the surface. Metallic paint can be very unforgiving out of a spray can, sputtering pigmentation dots on the panel being sprayed and thus ruining the paint job. No such issues with Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint spray cans. Paint sprayed strong and evenly till the last drop of paint in the can. Shipping time was faster than expected. Reason I chose this business: Having tried other brands of custom mixed metallic paint with terrible results, sputtering pigmentation tint dots from the spray nozzle in spite of vigorously shaking of can prior to application and loss of propellant rendering the lower fifth of the can's paint useless, Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint sprays out beautifully and strong all the way to the last gram of paint in the can. Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans for automotive restoration. Thank you Paint Scratch.
