Jeep Blackberry Pearl (BV/HBV) Touch Up Paint

The Look

Whether you drive a Patriot, Compass, Grand Cherokee, or Liberty, this color is a classic shapeshifter. At first glance in the garage or under a cloud, it often passes for a standard black. Once you pull into the sun, the deep violet and midnight blue undertones come alive. Since your Jeep has likely been on the road for over a decade, your original finish may have slightly muted over time. This makes the deep, fresh pigment of the touch-up stand out more, so it is vital to blend your edges rather than just filling a hole.

Technical Details

This is a true pearl finish, which uses tiny mica flakes rather than larger metallic bits to create its depth. The biggest risk when you use Jeep Blackberry Pearl (code BV/HBV) is mottling, where the flakes clump together and create dark, uneven spots. If the paint is applied too heavily in one pass, the pearl particles will sink to the bottom of the wet layer and lose their shimmer. To keep the finish looking uniform across the repair, you must focus on building the color through multiple thin applications.

Best Practices

Open your driver's side door and look for the VIN sticker on the jamb to confirm your code before you start. Before you even touch the car, shake your container for a full two minutes; those mica flakes are heavy and love to settle at the bottom. Test the color on the included card to see how it reacts to the light in your specific workspace. Keep the container moving at all times to ensure an even distribution of the pearl. Give each layer enough drying time so the paint doesn't stay soft, and always work in the shade to prevent the metal from getting too hot, which can cause the paint to dry before it levels out.
