COLOR CODEB-5 (1971) - True Blue PolyChrysler Touch-Up Paint

The Look

This color captures the peak of the muscle car era. Whether it is sitting on a high-performance Cuda or a luxury Newport, this shade offers a deep, electric energy that solid colors cannot replicate. It represents a time when Chrysler was leaning into bold aesthetics, making your vehicle a standout specimen of 1971 styling. Since your car has been on the road for decades, the original finish might have shifted slightly, but the character of this blue remains unmistakable.

Technical Details

You are working with a metallic finish, which means the paint contains fine flakes that provide that signature shimmer. Metallics are sensitive to how you apply them. If you work too slowly or let the paint build up in one spot, the flakes will cluster and create dark patches known as mottling. To keep the finish looking even, you must ensure the flakes lay down flat across the surface rather than bunching together.

Best Practices

Your paint code is stamped on the metal fender tag located under the hood on the driver side inner fender or the radiator support. Before you spray or dab Chrysler True Blue Poly (check for code B-5 (1971)), you need to shake it for 60 seconds to ensure those metallic particles are fully suspended. Test the color on the included card to verify the match before you touch the actual bodywork. Work in your garage or the shade to avoid direct sunlight, and always keep the container moving to prevent stripes. Apply light layers and allow for plenty of drying time so the metallic particles set correctly.
