COLOR CODEB-1 (1972) - Powder BlueDodge Touch-Up Paint

The Look

This color is a rare slice of 1972 history that captures the softer side of the muscle car era. While other owners were choosing aggressive purples and oranges, Dodge Powder Blue offered a cleaner, more relaxed look for the Dart, Charger, and Polara. It is a light, airy shade that often goes by the name Blue Sky or Skyline Blue depending on which factory brochure you find in your glovebox. Because your car has likely seen plenty of sun over the last five decades, the original finish might have shifted slightly, but this color remains one of the most honest and approachable blues Dodge ever put on metal.

Technical Details

This is a single-stage solid finish, which means you do not have to worry about metallic flakes settling unevenly or creating dark stripes. Solid colors like the code B-1 (1972) are a dream for repairs because they are much easier to blend than a metallic or pearl. The trade-off with such a light, solid blue is that it shows every bit of road grime and surface oxidation. If the surrounding paint looks chalky, the new touch-up will stand out, so ensure the area is clean and lightly polished before you begin.

Best Practices

You can find your paint code stamped on the metal fender tag located under the hood, usually on the driver side inner fender. Before you spray or dab any paint, you must shake the container for at least sixty seconds to ensure the pigments are fully integrated. Test the color on the included card to confirm the shade matches your current finish. When you are ready to work in your garage or the shade, keep the container moving to prevent the paint from pooling in one spot. If you need a second coat, allow for plenty of drying time between layers to prevent the finish from sagging or wrinkling.
