COLOR CODEBW9 - Majestic Blue PearlNissan Touch-Up Paint

The Look

This color defined the premium Nissan era of the early 2000s. If you drive a Maxima or a Murano from that decade, you know this shade acts like a chameleon. It stays professional and understated in the shade, but the moment you pull into the sun, the deep blue depth reveals itself. Since your car has been on the road for a while, the finish has likely weathered a few seasons. This dark navy hides small scratches well, but it also highlights road dust, so keeping the surface clean is part of the ownership experience.

Technical Details

This is a true pearl finish, which is more complex than a standard metallic. Instead of simple metal flakes, it uses mica to refract light. This creates a beautiful glow, but it makes your job a little harder. If you apply the paint too heavily in one spot, the mica won't sit right and you'll end up with a dark, blotchy patch that doesn't match the rest of the panel. You want to build the color in thin layers to let those pearl particles find their home.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Nissan Majestic Blue Pearl (check for code BW9), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. The mica particles in pearl paints are heavy and love to sink to the bottom of the container. You can find your official color ID on a silver plate located on the driver side door jamb or on the firewall behind the engine. Test the color on the included card before touching the car to ensure the shade matches your current finish. Whether you use a nozzle or a brush, keep the container moving to prevent the paint from pooling and ruining the pearl effect. Work in a garage or the shade to keep the metal cool and give yourself plenty of drying time between coats.
