Finished in Blackish Ageha 221
This classic Buick Riviera traded its old finish for the deep, mysterious green-teal of Toyota Blackish Ageha 221 — an OEM color that reads near-black in the shade and lights up to a rich metallic teal-green in the sun. Builder @sevenevez ran the full Alpha Automotive Paint system: DTM primer-sealer, Blackish Ageha 221 basecoat, and HS Glamour clearcoat over a dark foundation to pull the color to its deepest tone.
Here is how the build came together — the prep, the products, and the steps to chase the same shade on your own Blackish Ageha 221 vehicle paint kit.

@sevenevez handled this Riviera on the exact Blackish Ageha 221 vehicle paint kit we ship to every customer. The system is the DTM primer-sealer, Blackish Ageha 221 basecoat, HS Glamour clearcoat, plus urethane reducer, HS activator, and the TSS cheat sheet to keep every ratio right.
The Color: Why Toyota Blackish Ageha 221?
Toyota Blackish Ageha 221 is one of Toyota's most striking factory colors — a black-based pearl metallic that shifts from deep, almost-black green in low light to a glowing teal-green in the sun. As an OEMatch automotive basecoat it is mixed to the exact 221 code for factory-accurate depth.
Sprayed over a dark sealer, Blackish Ageha 221 reads at its deepest and richest, then gains its glassy mirror under HS Glamour clear.

Dark green pearls live on their foundation — keep the sealer dark and uniform. Even coats are what let Blackish Ageha shift cleanly instead of blotching.
What's Inside the Vehicle Paint Kit
These are all the products included in the Toyota Blackish Ageha 221 Full Vehicle Paint Kit. Every product is already matched and compatible — no hunting across brands, no guessing on ratios.
DTM Primer-Sealer (AP-7541) — The dark ground coat that gives Toyota Blackish Ageha 221 a uniform, full-coverage foundation. AP-7541 DTM primer-sealer seals the bodywork so the color reads even across every panel.

HS Glamour Clear (AC-4521) — AC-4521 HS Glamour clearcoat lays the deep, glassy gloss over Toyota Blackish Ageha 221 and locks in UV and chip protection.
Alpha Urethane Reducer — Alpha urethane reducer thins the basecoat to a spray-ready ratio for even, controlled coats.
HS Activator (AH-7100) — AH-7100 HS activator catalyzes the HS Glamour clear so it cures hard, clear, and durable.

Shop NowThe Complete DIY Process
Step 1: Prep & Bodywork
Every clean finish starts with the metal underneath. Block the body straight and knock down the old finish with OptiGrit abrasives before a single coat goes on — Toyota Blackish Ageha 221 will telegraph every flaw left behind.
Step 2: DTM Primer-Sealer (Dark Sealer)
A dark ground coat of DTM primer-sealer is the foundation this color lays over. Shoot it uniform and let it flash before basecoat so the color reads full and true.
Step 3: Toyota Blackish Ageha 221 Basecoat
Toyota Blackish Ageha 221 basecoat mixes 1:1 with Alpha urethane reducer and builds in smooth, even coats. Let each coat flash fully — patience here is what keeps the finish deep and even instead of blotchy.
Step 4: HS Glamour Clearcoat
HS Glamour clearcoat, catalyzed with HS activator, is where the depth comes alive — it buries the color in gloss for that wet, glassy finish and gives you the UV and chip protection.
Step 5: Cut & Buff
Once the clear is fully cured, a light cut with fine OptiGrit and a buff brings Toyota Blackish Ageha 221 to a mirror. Reference the TSS cheat sheet for ratios and flash windows so nothing gets rushed.
