KiaFormal Deep Blue MetallicTouch Up Paint — Paint Code BLA
Formal Deep Blue Metallic is Kia paint code BLA. Kia used BLA on the Rio, Carnival, Sedona, RIO5 from 2011 to 2020. BLA is a metallic, high gloss finish. Formal Deep Blue Metallic is sold as Deep Blue Metallic and Midnight Sapphire in other markets. Of the 81 Kia blue colours ordered from us, 16 have been ordered more often than Formal Deep Blue Metallic.
The kit is mixed to the BLA formula — the same code printed on your vehicle’s paint label — not colour-matched by eye. On panels that still carry their factory paint, that reproduces the original tone.
Where it will not match
Panels bleached by years of sun sit lighter than the factory formula. The kit reproduces the original colour, not the faded one.
A panel that has already been resprayed is no longer the factory colour, so the code will not describe it.
Metallic and pearl finishes are harder to blend across a large area than solid colours — they are at their best on chips and thin scratches.
Damage larger than a few centimetres, or down to bare metal over a wide area, is body-shop work.
