Chrysler Banzai Blue Metallic (PC3/KC3) Touch Up Paint

The Look

This color is a time capsule of the early nineties. It captures that specific era where Chrysler shifted from boxy K-cars to the more rounded, aerodynamic shapes of the LeBaron and the Voyager. It is a deep, energetic blue that carries enough weight to look professional on a sedan but feels right at home on a sporty Dodge Shadow. Because your car has likely seen three decades of sunlight, the original finish might have darkened or lightened compared to the fresh paint in your hand. This blue relies on lighting to show its depth, shifting from a quiet navy in the shade to a bright, electric cerulean when the sun hits the metallic flakes.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, which means it contains tiny flakes that provide that signature 1990s shimmer. Metallics are notorious for a phenomenon called mottling, where the paint looks blotchy or striped. This happens because those heavy metallic flakes like to clump together or sink to the bottom of the container. If you do not mix the paint thoroughly, you will end up with inconsistent color that looks darker in some spots and lighter in others. Before you spray or dab Chrysler Banzai Blue Metallic (check for code PC3/KC3), you need to shake the container for at least sixty seconds to ensure those flakes are suspended evenly in the liquid.

Best Practices

You can usually find your paint code on a metal plate or sticker located on the driver's side door jamb or under the hood on the radiator support bar. When you are ready to work, move your car into a garage or a patch of shade to keep the surface cool. Always test the color on the included card before touching the car to see how the metallic flakes lay down. Whether you are using a pen or a spray, keep the container moving in steady, even passes. Do not try to cover the damage in one thick layer. Thin coats are the secret to success here. Give each layer enough drying time until it is no longer tacky before applying the next. This patience prevents the metallic flakes from swimming around and ensures a uniform look that matches the rest of your Chrysler.
