COLOR CODEBF/JBF - Sapphire Crystal PearlChrysler Touch-Up Paint

The Look

This deep blue arrived during a major pivot for the brand, appearing on the refined 300 Series and the then-new 200. It is a moody, sophisticated shade that carries a lot of visual weight. On a Town & Country or a Sebring, it behaves like a traditional dark navy until the light hits the "Crystal" flakes, which reveal a subtle, shimmering depth. Since your car has likely been on the road for over a decade, the original finish has faced its fair share of sun and road salt. This means a fresh touch-up might look a shade darker than your weathered panels, especially if the car has not been kept in a garage.

Technical Details

This is a Pearl finish, which is significantly more complex than a standard flat blue or a basic metallic. The "Crystal" element comes from microscopic flakes that reflect light at different angles to create that specific glow. The main risk during a repair is mottling, where the metallic particles bunch together and create dark, uneven blotches. You cannot simply dab or spray this on in one thick coat. You have to build the depth slowly. If those flakes do not distribute evenly, the repair will look like a dark shadow on the side of your car rather than a clean fix.

Best Practices

Before you apply Chrysler Sapphire Crystal Pearl (check for code BF/JBF), you must shake the container for at least 60 seconds to wake up those heavy pearl particles that settle at the bottom. You can find your color code on the VIN sticker located inside the driver's side door jamb. Test the color on the included card first to see how it matches the current level of fade on your hood or doors. When you start the repair, keep the container moving to ensure the flakes lay down flat and even. If you are working in the shade, allow plenty of drying time between your light layers so the finish remains crisp rather than muddy.
