Chrysler Atlantic Blue Pearl Metallic (BJ/ZBJ) Touch Up Paint

The Look

Atlantic Blue was a brief but sophisticated chapter for the 2005 Pacifica and Town and Country. It is a deep, nautical blue that carries more gravity than the brighter shades typically found on family haulers. Since your Chrysler has likely been on the road for nearly two decades, the original finish has probably mellowed, and this fresh paint will bring back that crisp, professional depth. It is a color that hides minor road grime well, but it truly excels when it catches the direct sun and reveals its hidden layers.

Technical Details

This is a pearl metallic finish, which means it contains both traditional metallic flakes and translucent mica. These particles create a sense of depth, but they also make the paint heavier and more prone to settling. If the mica flakes are not distributed evenly, you will notice dark patches or stripes where the particles have bunched together. This mottling effect happens when the paint is applied too heavily in one spot or if the container is not agitated enough. To get the best result, you want those flakes to lay flat and catch the light uniformly across the surface of the panel.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Chrysler Atlantic Blue Pearl Metallic (check for code BJ/ZBJ), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. You can find your paint code on the silver or white certification label located on the driver's side door jamb. Once you confirm the code, test the color on the included card to see how the metallic flakes react to your technique. Work in your garage or in the shade to prevent the paint from drying too quickly, which can trap the flakes in an uneven pattern. Keep the container moving at a steady pace and apply thin, light layers. Give each layer enough drying time so that the next pass does not disturb the metallic particles you just laid down.
