COLOR CODECU/TCU - Deep Amethyst PearlEagle Touch-Up Paint

The Look

This shade represents the final chapter for the Eagle brand. Available only during the Vision's farewell year, it is a moody, royal purple that captured the high-end ambition of the cab-forward design era. Since your car has likely spent nearly three decades facing the elements, the original pigment may have softened slightly, but the deep violet undertones remain unmistakable. It is a color that looks nearly black in the shade but reveals its true character the moment the sun hits the panels.

Technical Details

This is a true pearl finish, which means it contains translucent mica flakes rather than simple metallic specks. These flakes provide a three-dimensional depth, but they also make for a sensitive repair. If you apply the paint too heavily, the mica will settle poorly and cause the area to look like a dark, muddy bruise. The goal is to let the light pass through the pearl layers to reflect off the base, creating that signature amethyst glow.

Best Practices

You can usually find your paint code on a metal plate located on the radiator support or inside the driver's side door jamb. Before you spray or dab Eagle Deep Amethyst Pearl (check for code CU/TCU), you need to shake the container vigorously for at least two minutes to ensure the heavy pearl particles are fully suspended. Test the color on the included card to see how many layers you need to match the current level of fade on your Vision. When applying, keep the container moving to prevent the flakes from bunching up in one spot. Give the surface plenty of drying time between light coats to build the color gradually without losing the translucent sparkle.
