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

The Look

This is a sophisticated, midnight-adjacent blue that defines the mid-2000s Pontiac era. Whether it is draped over the long lines of a Bonneville or the tight curves of a Solstice, this color communicates a quiet confidence. On a Montana or a G3, it serves as a workhorse shade that holds its own against daily wear. It is deep enough to almost look black in the shade, but once the sun hits it, the metallic elements provide a crisp reflection that typical flat blues cannot match. It gives the car a premium feel without being loud or distracting.

Technical Details

Because this is a metallic finish, you are dealing with tiny flakes suspended in the pigment. This creates a specific challenge for your repair. If you apply the paint too heavily in one spot, those flakes will bunch up and create dark, cloudy areas. You want the flakes to lay down flat and even across the surface. To avoid a blotchy look, you must ensure your application is consistent. Metallics are less forgiving than solid colors, but the reward is a finish that hides minor surface dust and small imperfections much better than a non-metallic paint ever could.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Pontiac Dark Ming Blue Pri Metallic (check for code 25/WA722J), you need to shake the container for at least sixty seconds to get those metallic flakes off the bottom. You can usually find your paint code on the silver Service Parts sticker located inside your glove box or on the spare tire cover in the trunk. Always test the color on the included card before you touch your car to ensure the shade matches your current level of paint fade. When you start the repair, keep the container moving at a steady pace to maintain a consistent flow. Work in your garage or a patch of shade to keep the car surface cool. Allow plenty of drying time between light layers rather than trying to cover the damage in one heavy pass.
