Blue Streak (B-3 (1973)) Touch-Up Paint for Dodge

The Look

This shade is a rare artifact from a single year of production, giving your 1973 Mopar a distinct identity that stands apart from the high-impact neons of earlier eras. Since your vehicle has been on the road for over fifty years, the original finish has likely changed through sun exposure and age. This blue carries a mechanical depth that fits the heavy steel lines of a classic Dodge.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, which means it relies on tiny flakes to create that classic shimmer. Metallics can be temperamental because those flakes tend to clump together if the application is too heavy. If the paint pools, the repair will look dark and muddy compared to the rest of the panel. The goal is to get those flakes to lay flat so they catch the light the same way as the surrounding paint.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Dodge Blue Streak (check for code B-3 (1973)), you need to shake the container for at least two minutes to mix the metallic particles. You can find your paint code on the metal fender tag on the driver-side inner fender under the hood. Test the color on the included card to see how the flakes settle before you touch the car. When you start, keep the container moving to ensure a uniform distribution of color. Allow plenty of drying time between thin layers to prevent the finish from sagging while you work in the Shade.
