Your Paint Color Profile

WA815T/GLK - Black Diamond Tricoat

The Look

This isn't just black. It's a heavy-hitter. Originally launched as a premium option for the CTS-V, it looks like crushed gemstones suspended in deep ink. It has massive depth. On the road, it's aggressive. It doesn't just sit there; it reacts to the sun. If you're driving a CTS with this finish, you aren't hiding. You're making a statement.

Technical Details

This is a complex Tricoat finish. It's a metallic hybrid using specialized flakes to create that "diamond" sparkle. It's tricky. If you apply too much mid-coat, the finish looks too dark. Too little, and you lose the signature glitter. It's great at hiding light dust, but uneven application will lead to mottling. You want a uniform look. No stripes. No dark patches.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Cadillac Black Diamond Tricoat (check for code WA815T/GLK), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. The heavy flakes in this paint sink fast. You'll find your paint code on the silver service label, usually located under the trunk carpet or near the spare tire well. Test the color on the included card to ensure the sparkle matches your factory finish. Use thin layers. Keep the container moving at all times. Wait for the proper drying time between coats so you don't move the flakes around.

ensuring the right match

How to Find Your Cadillac's Color Code

Cadillac used many locations for paint codes, making them hard to find, often impossible. GM (parent company of Cadillac) did not standardize the plate location. Usually the code is in the glove box or the spare tire well; otherwise it may be elsewhere. The typical format is 51/WA316N, usually preceded by BC/CC (e.g., BC/CC 51 or BC/CC 316N). There are two codes in one, and a U or L may precede for Upper or Lower. Two-tone examples: 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.
