Mazda Blue Pacific Pearl Metallic (25B) Touch Up Paint

The Look

This is a sophisticated, nautical blue that defined the early "zoom-zoom" era for the Mazda 6 and the family-focused MPV. It carries a deep, oceanic character that looks almost like a standard navy in the shade but reveals a vibrant teal undertone once the sun hits it. Because your car has likely been on the road for nearly two decades, the original finish has probably weathered and darkened slightly. This age adds a layer of complexity to any repair, as the factory-fresh paint in your hand might look a bit brighter than the paint that has lived through twenty years of sun and road salt.

Technical Details

This color is a pearl metallic, which means it relies on specialized flakes to create its signature depth. The main risk here is mottling, where the flakes clump together and create dark, uneven splotches or stripes. This usually happens if the paint stays wet for too long or goes on too heavy. If you apply a single thick coat, the flakes will swim and settle unevenly, ruining the metallic effect. To get it right, you must use thin, even layers and allow plenty of drying time between them so the flakes stay locked in place.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Mazda Blue Pacific Pearl Metallic (check for code 25B), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. You will find your paint code on the manufacturer sticker located inside the driver side door jamb. Always test the color on the included card first to see how the pearl lays down before you move to the car itself. When you are ready to work in your garage or the shade, keep the container moving at a steady pace to prevent the paint from pooling. Consistent movement is the only way to ensure those metallic particles distribute evenly across the surface.
