Eagle Silver Mist Pearl (A52/PA5) Touch Up Paint

The Look

This color captures the high-tech, liquid-metal aesthetic of the late 1990s. As a 1998 exclusive, it was the final wardrobe for the Eagle Talon before the brand went dark. It is a cool-toned, sophisticated silver that feels significantly more modern than the flatter greys of that decade. Because your Talon is one of only a few thousand built in that final production run, this shade carries a lot of weight for enthusiasts. Since your car has likely lived a full life over the last quarter-century, the original finish might have a slight patina, so expect this fresh application to look a bit sharper and brighter initially.

Technical Details

This is a pearl finish, which means it contains microscopic mica flakes rather than just standard pigment. These particles reflect light at different angles to create depth, but they are heavy and tend to sink to the bottom of the container. If you are not careful, the silver can appear uneven or "tiger-striped." This color is sensitive to the speed of your application. Silver pearls are also known for being unforgiving with surface prep; any small scratches or nicks will be magnified by the way the light bounces off the metallic particles.

Best Practices

You can usually find your identification plate bolted to the center of the firewall or tucked inside the driver's side door jamb. Before you spray or dab Eagle Silver Mist Pearl (check for code A52/PA5), you need to shake it for 60 seconds to wake up those heavy mica flakes. Test the color on the included card first to ensure the shimmer looks uniform. Whether you are working in your garage or in the shade, keep the container moving at all times to prevent the silver from pooling. Use light, thin layers and give the paint plenty of drying time between coats to build a finish that matches the factory depth.
