COLOR CODE8Y1 - Pure Blue MetallicToyota Touch-Up Paint

The Look

This color is the visual identity of the hydrogen revolution. Toyota chose this specific shade for the Mirai to represent the clean water vapor that serves as the car's only emission. It is a crisp, high-energy blue that looks like it belongs in a laboratory rather than a parking lot. Since your Mirai is a rare piece of engineering, every small stone chip or scratch feels much louder than it would on a standard sedan. Maintaining this finish is about preserving that high-tech, eco-friendly aesthetic.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, which presents a specific challenge for your repair. Those tiny flakes inside the liquid provide the depth and shimmer, but they are heavy and tend to sink. If you apply the paint without proper mixing, the repair will look too dark and lose its luster. You also have to be careful about mottling, which happens when the flakes clump together to create dark, cloudy spots or stripes. To get a factory match, you need those flakes to stand up and distribute themselves across the surface.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Toyota Pure Blue Metallic (check for code 8Y1), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. You can verify your paint code by looking at the sticker located on the driver side door jamb. Always test the color on the included card to make sure the metallic flakes are flowing correctly. To avoid uneven spots, keep the container moving across the surface at a steady pace. Work inside a garage or in the shade to ensure the paint has a consistent drying time.
