Dodge Hyacinth Blue Metallic (P05) Touch Up Paint

The Look

Your Sprinter isn't just another white delivery van. By wearing Dodge Hyacinth Blue Metallic (check your label for code P05), your vehicle carries a color originally borrowed from the Mercedes-Benz palette. It is a sophisticated, deep navy that reveals a fine shimmer when the sun hits the metal. Since most of these vans were retired from fleet service years ago, finding one in this shade is rare. Because your Sprinter has likely spent nearly two decades facing road salt and sun, the original finish may have shifted slightly, but this deep blue remains excellent at hiding the road grime and small dings that come with high-mileage life.

Technical Details

This is a true metallic finish, which means it contains tiny flakes designed to catch the light. Metallics require a bit more respect than solid colors. If you apply the paint too heavily in one spot, those flakes will clump together, creating a splotchy, uneven look known as mottling. It is better to apply several thin, light layers than one thick coat. This patience ensures the metallic particles lay down flat and even, preserving that professional, factory-style depth rather than looking like a dark, muddy patch on the side of your van.

Best Practices

Finding your paint code on a Sprinter is different than on a standard Dodge car. Instead of just the door jamb, you should also check the base of the driver's seat pedestal or look under the hood on the radiator support for a metal plate. Before you start, you must shake the container for at least sixty seconds to get those metallic flakes off the bottom and into the mix. Test the color on the included card to see how the flakes settle before you touch the van. Whether you are using a pen or a spray, keep the container moving constantly to prevent the paint from pooling. Give each layer plenty of drying time so the finish stays crisp and the blue remains vibrant.
