COLOR CODE39/WA520Q - Mystique Blue MetallicPontiac Touch-Up Paint

The Look

Your G5 is part of a small group of cars that wore this specific shade during its very short production run. Since this color was only available for the 2008 model year, it makes your car a bit of a survivor. This isn't just a standard navy blue; it has a distinct "flash" to it that gives the body lines a crisp, defined edge when the sun hits them. Because your Pontiac has likely spent over fifteen years facing the elements, the original finish might have darkened slightly, so this deep blue is great for blending in small repairs.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, which means it relies on tiny particles to create that signature shimmer. Metallics are sensitive to how they are applied. If you put the paint on too thick, the flakes will sink and the color will look too dark. If you apply it too thin, the repair can look cloudy. The goal is to let the flakes lay flat and even so they catch the light the same way the factory paint does. This specific blue is notorious for showing "mottling" or tiger stripes if the layers aren't consistent, so take your time with each pass.

Best Practices

To verify you have the right match, look for the silver Service Parts Identification sticker located in your trunk, usually tucked under the floor carpet or on the spare tire cover. Before you spray or dab Pontiac Mystique Blue Metallic (check for code 39/WA520Q), you need to shake the container vigorously for at least 60 seconds. This ensures the metallic flakes are fully suspended and not stuck at the bottom. Always test the color on the included card before touching your car to see how the metallic particles settle. Whether you are using a nozzle or a brush, keep the container moving across the surface to prevent the paint from pooling. Let each layer sit for a full drying time before deciding if you need a second coat.
