COLOR CODEEE-1 (1962) - Moonlight Blue PolyChrysler Touch-Up Paint

The Look

Moonlight Blue Poly is pure 1962 luxury. This was the signature shade for the Imperial, the flagship division Chrysler used to challenge the best from Cadillac and Lincoln. It is a deep, moody blue that carries a sophisticated metallic shimmer. In the shade, it looks like a solid midnight tone, but it wakes up with a crisp silver glow under direct sun. Because your Imperial has been on the road for six decades, the original finish has likely deepened with age. This color captures that exact mid-century prestige and brings back the regal character of the classic Forward Look design.

Technical Details

This is a "Poly" finish, which is the period-correct term for a metallic. Metallic paints are temperamental because they rely on tiny aluminum flakes to create their depth. If you apply the paint too thick, those flakes will cluster and sink, creating dark, muddy patches known as mottling. To get a factory look, you must avoid heavy coats. Light, thin layers are the only way to ensure the flakes lay flat and catch the light the right way across the repair.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Chrysler Moonlight Blue Poly (check for code EE-1 (1962)), you need to shake it for 60 seconds to distribute those metallic flakes. You can find your paint code on the metal data plate located either on the radiator support or the cowl under the hood. Test the color on the included card to see how the metallic settles before you touch the car. When you are ready to work, keep the container moving at all times to prevent the paint from pooling. Always work in a cool garage or the shade; if the metal is too hot, it will shorten the drying time and cause the metallic particles to clump together.
