WA135X/G7H - Blue My Mind Pearl Metallic Chevrolet Touch Up Paint

The Look

Since your Corvette has been on the road since its mid-2010s debut, you know this color is anything but subtle. Known in the showrooms as Laguna Blue, this shade was the face of the C7 Stingray launch. It is a high-energy, high-impact blue that changes character as you walk around the car. In the shade, it looks deep and sophisticated, but once you pull it out of the garage and into the sun, the pearl elements wake up and give the body lines a liquid, shimmering quality.

Technical Details

This is a Pearl Metallic finish, and it is a bit of a diva. Because it is often categorized as a tintcoat style paint, the depth of the blue depends entirely on how many layers you apply. The metallic flakes are heavy and the pearl load is high, which means they like to settle at the bottom of the container. If you apply the paint too thick in one spot, the color will look darker and the flakes will look bunched up or mottled. To get that factory depth, you need to focus on building the color slowly rather than trying to cover the damage in one heavy pass.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Chevrolet Blue My Mind Pearl Metallic (check for code WA135X/G7H), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. You can find your official code on the silver Service Parts sticker; on the Corvette, look under the trunk carpet near the battery, though on other Chevrolets it might be in the glove box. Test the color on the included card to see how the pearls lay down before touching the car. When you are ready, keep the container moving at a steady pace to prevent the metallic particles from pooling. Give the paint plenty of drying time between your light layers. This patience allows the flakes to orient themselves properly, ensuring your repair catches the light just like the rest of the fender.
