Toyota Downshift Blue Pearl (D07) Touch Up Paint

The Look

This is the definitive shade of the 2020 Supra. Since it served as a launch color for the return of this legend, your car wears a piece of automotive history. It is a deep, moody navy that acts like a chameleon depending on the light. In the shade or under a garage light, it can look nearly black, giving the car a stealthy, sophisticated profile. Once you get it out into the sun, the blue wakes up and reveals its true depth. It is a grown-up performance color that looks expensive but requires a clean surface to truly show off its shifting character.

Technical Details

You are working with a pearl finish, which is significantly more complex than a standard solid color. This paint uses mica flakes to reflect light from different angles, creating that shifting effect. The challenge with pearls is the way the flakes settle. If you apply the paint too heavily in one spot, the flakes will pool and create a dark, muddy blotch that won't match the rest of the panel. You want the flakes to stand up and catch the light evenly. This means you should aim for multiple thin layers rather than trying to cover the damage in one pass.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Toyota Downshift Blue Pearl (check for code D07), you must shake the container for a full two minutes to ensure those mica pearls are fully suspended in the mixture. You will find your paint code located on the manufacturing plate inside the driver's side door jamb. To make sure the color and flake density are right, test the color on the included card before you touch the car. When you start the repair, work in the shade and keep the container moving to maintain a consistent flow. Give each layer plenty of drying time so the finish remains crisp and deep.
