Lincoln Atlas Blue Pearl (B3) Touch Up Paint

The Look

Your Corsair or Nautilus carries a color that was only in the Lincoln spotlight for a short time. This shade is a deep, energetic blue that feels more athletic than the typical executive silvers or blacks found on other luxury SUVs. Since it was primarily a 2020 feature, your car belongs to a relatively exclusive group. It is a rich, dependable color that handles road grime well, but it truly comes alive when you get it out of the garage and into the direct sunlight where the depth of the finish can actually work its magic.

Technical Details

This is a pearl finish, which means it relies on tiny reflective particles to create a sense of dimension. Pearl paints are beautiful, but they are also sensitive to how you apply them. If you apply the paint too heavily in one spot and too thinly in another, the way the light hits those particles will change, leading to a finish that looks uneven or blotchy. To get a professional result, you need to focus on thin, consistent layers rather than trying to cover the damage in a single pass. This ensures the pearl flakes lay down flat and match the factory glow of the surrounding panels.

Best Practices

You can find your paint code on the manufacturer's sticker inside the driver's side door jamb, usually listed right next to the text EXT PNT. Before you spray or dab Lincoln Atlas Blue Pearl (check for code B3), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. The pearl pigments are heavier than the blue dye and will settle at the bottom of the container. To keep the finish uniform, keep the container moving as you work and never let the paint sit for long without a quick remix. Most importantly, test the color on the included card and allow for full drying time so you can see the final shade before you commit to the repair on your car.
