Your Paint Color Profile

40C/WA8554 - White

The Look

This is the definitive 1984 executive aesthetic. Whether it's an Electra Park Avenue or a Regal, this shade defines the era of big chrome and plush interiors. It isn't flashy. It doesn't scream for attention. It's a clean, clinical white that keeps those massive mid-80s body panels looking sharp and cool in the sun. It's simple. It's functional. It's Buick.

Technical Details

You are working with a solid finish. There is no metallic flake or pearl to hide behind. The good news? You won't deal with tiger stripes or uneven mottling. The bad news? This color shows every speck of dust and every mistake in your prep work. Because it is a flat, pigment-heavy white, it has great hiding power, but it will expose a lazy sanding job immediately.

Best Practices

Pop the trunk or open the glove box to find your "Service Parts Identification" sticker. Before you spray or dab Buick White (check for code 40C/WA8554), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. Test the color on the included card. When applying, work in the shade. Keep the container moving to avoid heavy build-up. Solid whites can run if you get greedy with the flow. Allow plenty of drying time between layers. Once the color is uniform, a clear coat is what brings back that factory gloss.

ensuring the right match

Find your Buick paint 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.
