Subaru Azurite Blue Pearl (E6F) Touch Up Paint

The Look

This is the sophisticated side of the brand. While other Subarus were screaming in rally blue, the 2010 and 2011 Legacy, Outback, and Tribeca wore this shade like a tailored navy suit. It is a deep, moody blue that looks almost black in the shade but reveals a hidden sapphire glow when the sun hits it. Since your car has been on the road for over a decade, you are likely dealing with some surface oxidation or fine road rash. This color is excellent at hiding light dust, but it reveals every deep scratch, making a clean touch-up essential for keeping that premium look.

Technical Details

You are working with a pearl finish, which is significantly more complex than a standard solid color. The depth comes from microscopic mica flakes suspended in the paint. These flakes are heavy and settle at the bottom of the container quickly. If you do not mix them thoroughly, the touch-up will look like a flat, dull navy that does not match the surrounding gloss. Pearl paints are also prone to mottling, where the flakes cluster together and create dark or light splotches. To avoid this, you need to ensure the paint stays well-mixed throughout your entire project so the light reflects off the surface evenly.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Subaru Azurite Blue Pearl (check for code E6F), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. You should hear the mixing ball rattling the entire time to get those pearls back into the solution. You can find your code on the silver identification plate located on the passenger side door jamb or on the strut tower under the hood. To get the best result, test the color on the included card and hold it against your fender once dry. When you apply the paint, keep the container moving to prevent the mica from pooling in one spot. Focus on thin layers and allow plenty of drying time between them to build the color naturally.
