Your Paint Color Profile

WA656R - Technical Gray Metallic (wheel)

The Look

This isn't just gray. It's industrial armor. Designed specifically for 2019 XT5 wheels, this shade is cold, precise, and purely technical. It trades the cheap flash of chrome for a machined, heavyweight aesthetic. It's a color that says the driver cares about the details that live closer to the pavement. It hides light road grime well, but it demands respect during the repair.

Technical Details

This is a high-density metallic finish. The silver flakes are fine and packed tight. Because it's a wheel color, it's built to look deep and uniform. The risk? Heavy spots. If you apply too much at once, the metallic bits group together and create dark shadows. Keep the container moving to ensure the flakes lay down flat. If they stand up, the repair will look like a different color entirely.

Best Practices

Pop the glove box or check the spare tire well for the silver Service Parts Identification sticker. Before you apply Cadillac Technical Gray Metallic (wheel) (check for code WA656R), you need to shake it for at least two minutes. Those heavy metallic flakes sink to the bottom of the reservoir while sitting on the shelf. Test the color on the included card to ensure the mix is right. Work in the shade. Use light, quick passes with your nozzle or brush. Wheels take a beating, so let the drying time pass completely before you even think about mounting that tire or driving through a puddle.

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.
