Your Paint Color Profile

WA267M - Light Silver (matt)

The Look

This isn't your grandfather's chrome-heavy Buick. It's the "Quiet Luxury" era in a bottle. For the Allure and LaCrosse, this finish turned a standard sedan into something that looks machined from a solid block of aluminum. It's industrial. Subdued. It doesn't scream for attention, but it commands a second look because it lacks the typical showroom glare. It's a sophisticated, forged appearance.

Technical Details

This is a metallic base with a low-gloss, non-reflective personality. It's a high-risk finish. Most silvers use a deep gloss to hide uneven metallic distribution. Here, you have nowhere to hide. If you apply the paint too heavily in one spot, the silver flakes will "mottle" or bunch up, creating dark, ugly patches. It's a dry finish by design. It hides road dust like a pro but shows every mistake if your technique is sloppy.

Best Practices

Pop the glove box or check the spare tire well in the trunk for the Service Parts Identification sticker. Before you spray or dab Buick Light Silver (matt) (check for code WA267M), you need to shake it for at least 60 seconds. The matting agents that create the flat look settle quickly; if you don't mix it, you'll end up with a patchy, semi-gloss mess. Test the color on the included card first. Keep the container moving. Do not aim for full coverage in one pass. Use thin, light layers. Heavy, wet coats will darken the color and ruin the texture.

How to Find Your Buick's Color Code

Buick used many different locations over the years, so the paint color plate can be hard to find. GM did not standardize the location. Commonly cited spots are the glove box or the spare tire well; otherwise it may be anywhere. The code format typically looks like 51/WA316N, usually preceded by BC/CC (BC/CC 51 or BC/CC 316N), and two-tone entries may show U or L (BC/CC U316N or BC/CC L316N).

Will absolutely order from this company again.

After ordering touch-up paint from Lexus I was still waiting for it a month later. If they'd told me upfront it would take that long I wouldn't have ordered in the first place. Paint Scratch was recommended by a friend who restores cars. Easy ordering, fair price and fast shipping. The color match is great especially considering my car is a 2012. Will absolutely order from this company again. Reason I chose this business: Lexus collision repair and a local collision repair. Will use paint less dent removal and touch up chipped paint myself. Reason I chose this product: Spouse sideswiped passenger side of car while backing out of garage. Mostly plastic transfer from his wheel well trim but pressure creased and cracked the paint causing a bare strip 1/8 wide x 4" long below door handle. Scratches on door handle and a few small chips on both doors.

Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans

Used Paint Scratch metallic custom mixed spray cans paint on a hood panel with excellent coverage and texture over the surface. Metallic paint can be very unforgiving out of a spray can, sputtering pigmentation dots on the panel being sprayed and thus ruining the paint job. No such issues with Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint spray cans. Paint sprayed strong and evenly till the last drop of paint in the can. Shipping time was faster than expected. Reason I chose this business: Having tried other brands of custom mixed metallic paint with terrible results, sputtering pigmentation tint dots from the spray nozzle in spite of vigorously shaking of can prior to application and loss of propellant rendering the lower fifth of the can's paint useless, Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint sprays out beautifully and strong all the way to the last gram of paint in the can. Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans for automotive restoration. Thank you Paint Scratch.
