Chrysler Deep Water Blue Pearl (BS/GBS) Touch Up Paint

The Look

This color is the heavyweight of the late 2000s Chrysler lineup. It turned the 300C into a luxury cruiser and gave the final years of the PT Cruiser and the Sebring a sophisticated, oceanic depth they rarely saw elsewhere. It is a moody shade that plays a trick on the eye; in the shade or under a streetlamp, it looks like a deep midnight navy, but once the sun hits it, the teal and bright blue highlights wake up. Since your car has likely been on the road since 2009 or 2010, the original finish might have mellowed, so your repair needs to account for that depth.

Technical Details

This is a true pearl finish, which is both its greatest strength and its biggest headache. The color relies on microscopic mica flakes to create that "water" effect. If you apply the paint too heavily in one pass, those flakes will clump together or sink, creating dark spots that look like bruises on the panel. The secret is layering. You want to build the color slowly so the pearls can sit evenly on the surface rather than drowning in a thick puddle.

Best Practices

Before you apply your Chrysler Deep Water Blue Pearl (code BS/GBS), make sure you have a steady hand. You will find that three-digit code on the manufacturer's sticker inside the driver's side door jamb, usually right next to the "PNT" heading. Because those mica flakes love to settle at the bottom, you need to shake the container for at least sixty seconds to get a proper mix. Work in your garage or a patch of shade to keep the surface cool. Always test the color on the included card to check the match before touching the car. When you start, keep the container moving to ensure the pearls distribute evenly across the repair. Let each layer set for a full drying time before adding the next.
