Chrysler Evening Blue Poly (B-7 (1972)) Touch Up Paint

The Look

Evening Blue is a sophisticated, moody shade that sits right between a navy and a medium royal blue. It was the grown-up choice for All Models in 1972, providing a deep, oceanic look that feels much more expensive than the flashy high-impact colors of the era. Because your Chrysler has lived through five decades of sun and history, the original pigment may have shifted, making it look deeper or more muted than it did on the showroom floor.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish. The tiny polychromatic flakes are what give the color its life, but they can be temperamental. If you apply the paint too thick, the flakes will clump together, a problem called mottling. This creates dark, uneven splotches that look like shadows on the metal. To avoid this, you need to apply thin, even layers to allow the metal flakes to distribute across the surface.

Best Practices

You can find your paint code stamped on the metal fender tag located on the driver side inner fender in the engine bay. Before you spray or dab Chrysler Evening Blue Poly (check for code B-7 (1972)), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. Always test the color on the included card to ensure the metallic flake lays down as intended. While applying, keep the container moving to prevent the blue from becoming cloudy or uneven. Give the paint plenty of drying time between coats to ensure the finish remains crisp and the metallic particles stay in place.
