COLOR CODEC7/EC7 - Twilight Blue Pearl MetallicChrysler Touch-Up Paint

The Look

This color is a moody, sophisticated relic from Chrysler's early nineties luxury push. Whether it is on a LeBaron, a New Yorker, or a high-trim Town & Country, this deep shade defines that era of American automotive design. It is a dark, brooding blue that stays subtle in the shade but reveals a hidden depth when the light hits the metallic flakes. Since your car has likely spent over thirty years on the road, the original finish might look a bit flatter than the fresh paint in your hand, so keep that in mind as you prepare to blend your repair.

Technical Details

You are working with a pearl metallic finish, which is significantly more complex than a standard solid color. The "pearl" effect comes from tiny mica particles that reflect light differently depending on how they lay down. If these particles clump together, you will end up with a splotchy, uneven look known as mottling. This happens most often if the paint is applied too thick or if you do not allow for proper drying time between layers. Because the mica and metal flakes are heavier than the paint itself, they will sink to the bottom of the reservoir, making the color look dull if it is not perfectly suspended.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Chrysler Twilight Blue Pearl Metallic (check for code C7/EC7), you need to shake it for at least 60 seconds to ensure those pearls are fully mixed. You can typically find your paint code stamped on a metal plate under the hood on the radiator support or on a sticker inside the driver's side door jamb. Always test the color on the included card to see how the metallic behaves before moving to the car. To prevent the flakes from bunching up, keep the container moving at a steady pace and maintain a consistent spray distance or brush stroke. If you apply a clear coat afterward, ensure the blue base has had plenty of drying time so the pearls do not shift or "swim" when the clear hits them.
