EE1 Paint Color

Mopar Muscle · Jul 3, 2025

My 1965 Belvedere I street wedge was originally EE1 dark blue. I ordered a vintage a Dizler paint sample, but it doesn't have any metallic flake in the sample which I don't think is correct. A local paint store can't find a blend for the factory color either. I'm just trying to get a sample of the OE color to see if I want the EE1, or if I want to massage it some. I've saved these pics of a '64 Dodge because I LOVE the way this color looks and pops.

Is this the factory EE1 color, or a custom blend?

All the 66-67 EE1 cars I have had, there was metallic in the mix. @dan juhasz recently repainted a car he purchased from me, and may have the perfect formula.

Only have experience with 67 EE1, no idea if earlier shades had metallic or not. What we did was found a spot on the inside of the car that was under the rear interior panels by the window. Used that spot with a color camera and started mixing paint and then did spray outs and a sun gun. Anything today under clear coat will look different than it did way back when. Car on top is the base clear with the match, car on the bottom is a 1975 respray in enamel. Both EE1.

I had a 64 hdtp Dodge that color. Sadly never kept it long enough to repaint it

Like Jerry mentioned the GTX I restored called for ee1 . All the spray outs that were done had metallic but the formulas all had violet in the mix. The violet hues the spray out’s had were not what I was after. The color looks very dull and the flop looked purple. I actually went with 69 B9 blue. A true dark blue metallic with no purple hue. I really like it. Besides that none of the major label paints had a correct formula for ee1.

Thanks for the info. I for sure don't want purple tones as that '64 Dodge in the picture has some green tonhadd this very slight teal undertone.

Here are a few more pics of what I believe EE1 should be. It's odd because some look more teal than others. I kinda like the green undertone.

It is one of my favorite colors.

Come on by, and I'll whip some up.
Here's the formula, with 98/10 being metallic
531 is green shade blue
640 is transparent green
and 926 is black

The 68 EE1 color, like on my coronet, does have a violet toner.

I had the same issue in 1969 T7. I talked to these guys and my color did not say" metallic" just Poly. They said it does have metallic in it .

Sprayed out perfectly and color was spot on. Not sure on Quality but it sprayed out and covered great. But I was doing a total repaint not a color blend/repair.
I'm far from an expert on this,

"Poly" = metallic; one of my favorite Mopar colors. The '65 Belvedere photo is accurate. It does react to light. No red cast, it's more greenish on the color wheel. Here's a shot of my '63.
