Hummer Dark Ming Blue Metallic (25/WA722J) Touch Up Paint

The Look

This color represents a brief moment in the history of the brand when the rugged H2 and H3 models tried on a more sophisticated, evening-wear aesthetic. Since your vehicle has been on the road since 2007, you have likely noticed how this shade transforms depending on the light. In the shade, it can pass for nearly black, but once the sun hits those panels, the deep blue comes alive. It lacks the aggressive, flat look of tactical tan or olive drab, giving your truck a premium feel that stands out in a parking lot without being loud.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, which means the paint is loaded with tiny reflective flakes that provide its characteristic depth. While these flakes create that deep glow, they can be temperamental during application. If the paint is applied too heavily in one spot, the metal particles can bunch together, leading to a blotchy or striped appearance known as mottling. To avoid this, you need to ensure the flakes stay suspended in the liquid rather than sinking to the bottom. Before you spray or dab Hummer Dark Ming Blue Metallic (check for code 25/WA722J), you need to shake the container vigorously for at least sixty seconds to distribute those metallics evenly.

Best Practices

You can find your paint code on the Service Parts Identification sticker, which is almost always tucked inside the glove box of the H2 and H3 models. Before you begin the actual repair, test the color on the included card to ensure the shade matches your weathered factory finish. When you are ready to work, find a spot in your garage or a patch of reliable shade to keep the surface cool. Whether you are using a nozzle or a pen, keep the container moving across the repair area to prevent the paint from pooling. Deep metallics like this require thin, even layers. If the color looks a bit dull once dry, do not worry; the gloss and the true blue depth only return once you apply the clear coat. Give each layer enough drying time so the surface is no longer tacky before adding the next.
