COLOR CODE26/WA127A - Medium Cloisonne MetallicBuick Touch-Up Paint

The Look

This color is the definitive mid-90s executive vibe. It's a deep, teal-tinted blue that looks right at home on a Roadmaster or a LeSabre. It isn't loud. It's professional. The metallic depth gives it a sophisticated edge when the sun hits the curves. It hides road grime better than a flat black or a bright silver. This was a staple for almost the entire Buick lineup during its run. It's nostalgic, clean, and carries a lot of depth for a factory shade.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, not a solid. The silver flakes are heavy. They love to sink to the bottom of the container. If you get lazy with the prep, the color will look dark and muddy. If you apply it too heavy in one spot, you'll see "tiger stripes" or mottling. Keep the container moving. Success depends on thin layers. Too much flow at once will cause the metallic particles to puddle and look blotchy. Work in your garage or the shade. Heat will dry it too fast and ruin the flake alignment.

Best Practices

Find your ID label on the underside of the trunk lid or the spare tire cover. Before you spray or dab Buick Medium Cloisonne Metallic (check for code 26/WA127A), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. Listen for that mixing ball. It needs to rattle freely to suspend the flakes. Test the color on the included card before touching the car. Hold the nozzle at a consistent distance and overlap your passes. Respect the drying time between layers. If you rush the next coat, the metallic will clump. Clear coat is required to bring out the final teal shimmer.
