336D - Atlantic Blue Chevrolet Touch Up Paint

The Look

This color is a straight shot of 1950s Americana. While the high-trim Bel Airs of the era often grabbed attention with flashy teals and corals, this shade was a staple for the 150 and 210 series cars and the rugged trucks of 1957. It is a deep, confident blue that feels more grounded than the pastel tones of the decade. Since your Chevy has likely spent decades on the road, the original paint has probably mellowed, so a fresh touch-up will bring back that crisp, professional look it had when it first rolled off the line.

Technical Details

This is a solid finish, which means you do not have to worry about metallic flakes or pearls clumping in the nozzle. Solid colors are the most honest paints out there because they do not rely on shimmer to hide surface imperfections. The benefit is that you will not have to deal with uneven metallic patterns or "striping." The trade-off is that the pigment is dense, and any dust or uneven prep in your garage will be visible. It is a very forgiving color for a beginner to apply, provided the surface is clean and smooth.

Best Practices

You can find your paint information on the cowl tag located on the passenger side of the firewall under the hood. Before you spray or dab Chevrolet Atlantic Blue (check for code 336D), you need to shake it for 60 seconds to ensure the heavy blue pigments are fully mixed. Always test the color on the included card to check the match against your specific car. Keep the container moving during application to maintain a steady flow and prevent the paint from pooling. Give the area plenty of drying time between thin layers to build a durable, level finish that looks like it belongs on a classic.
