COLOR CODEPB8 - Midnight Blue PearlChrysler Touch-Up Paint

The Look

Midnight Blue Pearl is a heavy hitter in the Chrysler lineup. It is more than just a dark blue; it is an inky, deep navy that behaves like a mirror when the sun hits it. On a 300 Series or an Aspen, this color gives off a formal, high-end vibe that feels both professional and imposing. If your Crossfire or European 300 Series wears this shade, you have a rare bird on your hands. Since your car has likely been on the road for well over a decade, you have probably noticed that this finish shows every speck of dust and every tiny scratch. It requires a bit more maintenance to stay looking sharp, but the depth of the blue mica makes the effort worth it.

Technical Details

This finish is a true pearl, meaning it relies on tiny mica particles rather than larger metallic flakes to create its shimmer. Pearl finishes are notorious for mottling-those unsightly dark and light patches that look like tiger stripes. This usually happens because the mica particles clump together instead of laying down flat. If you apply the paint too heavily or if the air in your garage is too humid, the mica will float and shift, ruining the uniform look of the navy base. It is a sensitive color that demands even, light layers to maintain its factory depth.

Best Practices

You will find your factory identification label on the driver's side door jamb, usually near the latch. Before you spray or dab Chrysler Midnight Blue Pearl (check for code PB8), you must shake the container for at least one full minute to pull the heavy pearl sediment off the bottom. Test the color on the included card to confirm it matches your car's current level of paint fade. When you start the repair, keep the container moving at all times to ensure the mica stays suspended and spreads evenly. Work in the shade and allow plenty of drying time between each thin layer to prevent the paint from sagging.
