RBE - Light Blue Pearl MetallicNissan Touch Up Paint

The Look

This shade spent its early years as the face of the electric vehicle movement on the Leaf, though it looks just as sharp on the Versa. It is a crisp, airy blue that sits somewhere between a clear morning sky and a cool sheet of ice. This color choice was a smart move for your car because it excels at hiding the light road dust that usually makes darker vehicles look tired. Even after a decade on the road, this finish retains a modern, high-tech feel that keeps the car looking current.

Technical Details

You are working with a pearl metallic finish, which means the paint is packed with tiny mica flakes that give it that signature shimmer. These flakes are heavier than the paint itself and tend to sink to the bottom of the container. If you don't mix them thoroughly, you will end up with a flat, dull blue that won't match the rest of your car. The pearl also reacts to how thick you apply it; heavy layers will make the repair look darker, while thin, even passes will help the flakes lay down flat and catch the light correctly.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Nissan Light Blue Pearl Metallic (check for code RBE), you must shake the container for at least a full minute to get the metallic particles suspended. You can find your paint code on the silver VIN plate located on the driver's side door jamb. Always work in a cool garage out of the sun and test the color on the included card to verify the match before touching the car. As you apply the paint, keep the container moving to prevent the mica from clustering together into dark spots. Give the paint plenty of drying time between layers to ensure the finish stays clear and bright.
