Eagle Bluish Red Pearl (R65/PRM) Touch Up Paint

The Look

This color defines the moody aesthetic of the early 1990s tuner era. It served as a flagship shade for the Eagle Talon, delivering a deep wine profile that shifts toward a violet hue under low light. Since your Eagle has been on the road for three decades, the original finish has likely developed a darker patina from the sun. This is a mature red that avoids the loud brightness of modern sports cars, offering a sophisticated look that highlights the sharp body lines of a vintage Diamond-Star Motors build.

Technical Details

You are working with a pearl finish, which means the paint contains tiny mica particles that reflect light at different angles. This provides incredible depth, but it requires a careful touch during application. If you apply the paint too thick, the pearls will sink and cause the repair to look darker or muddy compared to the rest of the fender. If the layers are too thin, the color will lack its signature richness. Success depends on building the color through multiple light passes rather than trying to cover the spot in one go.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Eagle Bluish Red Pearl (check for code R65/PRM), you need to shake the container for at least two minutes to get those heavy pearl particles off the bottom. You can usually find your paint code stamped on the firewall near the center of the engine bay or on the passenger side inner fender well. Test the color on the included card to see how the pearls lay down before you move to the car. Keep the container moving at a steady pace to prevent pooling, and allow plenty of drying time between each light coat to ensure the metallic effect remains even across the surface.
