Chrysler Evening Blue Poly (B-7 (1971)) Touch Up Paint

The Look

This is a deep, moody blue that managed to look professional and fast at the same time when it debuted. Whether you are working on a performance-heavy Charger or a full-sized Newport, this shade represents the sophisticated side of the 1971 lineup. Since your Chrysler has likely spent decades in the sun, the existing finish might be slightly lighter or more weathered than what is inside your container. This is a refined color that can almost look black in the shade, but it reveals its true blue character the moment it catches direct sunlight.

Technical Details

The "Poly" in the name is a classic industry term for a metallic finish, meaning your paint is filled with tiny flakes that provide that signature shimmer. This is a beautiful look, but it carries the risk of mottling or striping if applied unevenly. If the paint goes on too heavy in one area, those metallic flakes will huddle together and create dark, blotchy streaks. You want those particles to lay flat and spread out evenly so the light reflects back at a consistent angle across the repair area.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Chrysler Evening Blue Poly (check for code B-7 (1971)), you need to shake it for 60 seconds to get those metallic flakes off the bottom. You can find your specific code stamped on the metal fender tag under the hood, usually on the driver-side inner wheel well or the radiator support. Always test the color on the included card to see how the metallic settles before you touch the vehicle. When you begin the repair, keep the container moving at all times to prevent the paint from pooling. Work in thin layers rather than one heavy coat, and allow plenty of drying time between each pass to build the color depth without causing the paint to sag or the flakes to clump.
