Your Paint Color Profile

BLGR15 - Chelsea Gray

The Look

This is a one-year wonder. Released in 1964 and gone just as fast. It's a deep, industrial gray that feels heavy and purposeful. No blue undertones. No warmth. Just a serious, moody shade that looks right on a Mini Cooper or an early MGB. It's the color of London fog on a concrete pier. It makes any car look like it's ready for a rally stage.

Technical Details

This is a pure solid finish. No metallic flakes. No pearl. It's an honest color, but that means it has nothing to hide behind. Solid grays are notorious for showing every drip or heavy spot if you aren't careful. The good news? It provides excellent coverage. The bad news? If your surface isn't flat, this shade will highlight every dent. It's a utilitarian classic.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab BMC Chelsea Gray (check for code BLGR15), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. Modern pigments are heavy. They settle at the bottom. You need them mixed for a perfect match. On these vintage BMC machines, don't look for a modern sticker. Check the metal ID plate on the firewall or the inner wing. Test the color on the included card before you touch the car. Work in a Garage or the Shade. Keep the container moving to avoid puddles. Give it plenty of drying time between thin layers.

How to Find Your BMC's Color Code

BMC can be contacted to determine the paint color code. If a color code is not available, the alternative is the PPG or Dupont (Axalta) paint formula number. Color identification therefore comes either from BMC determining a code or from the PPG or Dupont (Axalta) paint formula number.

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.
