COLOR CODEPCH - Brilliant BlueDodge Touch-Up Paint

The Look

You see this deep, professional shade most often on the 2007 to 2010 Sprinter vans. It is a blue that means business, offering a bit more character than the sea of generic white delivery vehicles on the road. Because your Sprinter likely covers long distances, this color is practical. It hides the light layer of dust and road salt that often makes darker vehicles look worn out within a few miles of leaving the wash.

Technical Details

This finish is a metallic, which means it relies on tiny flakes to give the blue its depth. These flakes are heavy and have a tendency to sink to the bottom of the container. If the flakes do not distribute across the surface, you will end up with dark splotches or a finish that looks like two different colors. You have to be careful with the thickness of your coats; if the paint goes on too heavy, the flakes will cluster together and create a mottled, uneven appearance across the panel.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Dodge Brilliant Blue (check for code PCH), shake the container for at least sixty seconds to get those metal particles moving. You can find your paint code on a label located on the driver's door jamb or the pedestal at the base of the driver's seat. Test the color on the included card to check the metallic spread before you touch the vehicle. Keep the container moving at a steady pace to prevent puddles, and allow plenty of drying time between layers to ensure the blue stays deep and uniform.
