COLOR CODEEE-1 (1964) - Monarch Blue PolyChrysler Touch-Up Paint

The Look

This is a deep, regal shade that defines the mid-60s era of Chrysler luxury. Since your car has likely seen many decades of sun and road wear, this dark blue might appear slightly different than it did on the showroom floor in 1964. Whether you are working on a Newport, a 300, or a New Yorker, this color brings back a serious, executive presence. It is a heavy, dark hue that absorbs a lot of light, making it excellent for hiding small imperfections in the bodywork, though it will show dust and water spots if you do not keep the surface clean.

Technical Details

The "Poly" in the name is shorthand for polychromatic, which means this is a metallic finish. These tiny metallic flakes are what give the paint its depth, but they also require a bit of respect during application. If you apply the paint too heavily in one spot, the flakes will bunch together and create dark streaks or "mottling." To get an even look, you need to ensure the flakes lay down flat and uniform. Before you apply anything to your car, test the color on the included card to see how the metallic settles as it dries.

Best Practices

To find your confirmation, look for the metal fender tag located under the hood on the driver's side inner fender well or the radiator support. Before you spray or dab Chrysler Monarch Blue Poly (check for code EE-1 (1964)), you need to shake the container for at least 60 full seconds. This is the only way to get those metallic flakes off the bottom and into the mix. When applying, keep the container moving at a steady pace to prevent the paint from pooling. Give each layer enough drying time before adding the next. If you are using a pen or brush for a chip, use light dabs rather than long strokes to keep the metallic distribution even. Work in a cool garage or the shade to prevent the paint from drying too fast and trapping the flakes in a vertical position.
