COLOR CODE48/WA406P - All Terrain BluePontiac Touch-Up Paint

The Look

This is one of the rarest shades in the history of the brand. Since it only appeared during the final production run of the 2009 Solstice, you are dealing with a color that carries some weight for collectors. It is a deep, aquatic blue that feels more like something you would find on a high-end European roadster than a domestic sports car. Because your car was part of that final swan song, keeping this paint looking right in your garage is about preserving a piece of history.

Technical Details

The finish on your Pontiac All Terrain Blue (identified by code 48/WA406P) is a metallic. This means the color gets its depth from tiny particles suspended in the liquid. If those flakes do not lay down flat and even, the repair will look darker or patchier than the surrounding area. Blue metallics are notoriously picky about how they are applied, as the orientation of those flakes determines how light reflects off the door or hood.

Best Practices

To find your code and verify the match, look inside the glovebox for a silver sticker labeled Service Parts Identification. Before you begin the repair in the shade, shake your container for at least sixty seconds to get those metallic flakes moving. Always test the color on the included card to see how the flakes settle before you touch the car. When you are ready to apply the paint, keep the container moving in steady passes to prevent the flakes from bunching up. Give each layer enough drying time so the finish sets properly without sagging or shifting.
