COLOR CODEB-66P - Montecarlo Blue PearlHonda Touch-Up Paint

The Look

This shade captures the aquatic energy of the early 2000s Honda era. On the S2000, it looks like deep ocean water, while on the Insight, it adds a layer of technical sophistication to the hybrid silhouette. It is a color that demands attention because it has a richness that reveals itself as the car moves through different lighting. Since your car has likely been on the road for two decades, you will notice that this blue holds its character well, even as the factory clear coat ages.

Technical Details

This is a pearl finish, not a simple metallic. It relies on translucent mica flakes to create a sense of depth. If you are too heavy with the application, those flakes will crowd each other and make the blue look dark or blotchy. The goal is to build the finish in thin, uniform layers so the light can pass through and bounce off the mica. This "flip" in the paint is what gives the S2000 its curves, but it also means you have to be careful not to let the paint pool in one spot.

Best Practices

Locate your paint code on the sticker inside the driver's side door jamb. Before you begin using Honda Montecarlo Blue Pearl (check for code B-66P), shake the container for two full minutes so the pigment and pearl are fully mixed. Test the color on the included card to see how it matches your current paint and how the pearl settles. When you apply the paint, keep the container moving to prevent the mica from bunching up or creating dark spots. Work in a garage or the shade to ensure even drying time between each coat.
