COLOR CODE15/WA929L - Cashmere MetallicPontiac Touch-Up Paint

The Look

You are looking at a color that defined the mid-2000s General Motors lineup. This champagne-gold hue gave the Grand Prix and G6 an upscale, mature vibe that helped them stand out in a sea of rental-car silver. It even managed to soften the bold lines of the Aztek and add a touch of dignity to the Bonneville. Because your Pontiac has been on the road for nearly two decades, you likely appreciate how well this shade hides road dust and light scratches. It is the ultimate practical choice for a daily driver that still wants to look expensive under the sun.

Technical Details

This finish is a classic metallic, packed with fine gold and silver flakes that catch the light. Metallics are tricky because those flakes are heavy; they love to sink to the bottom of the container while it sits in your garage. If you do not mix the paint thoroughly, you will end up applying a translucent beige that does not match your car. Worse, if you apply the paint too thick in one spot, the flakes will cluster and create dark, muddy patches. You want those flakes to lay down flat and even so they reflect light just like the factory finish.

Best Practices

Start by checking your glove box or the floor of your trunk for the silver Service Parts sticker to confirm your match. Before you spray or dab Pontiac Cashmere Metallic (check for code 15/WA929L), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. This is non-negotiable for a metallic finish. Test the color on the included card to ensure the flakes are suspended properly before you touch your car. When applying, keep the container moving to avoid heavy buildup. Several thin layers are always better than one thick one, as thin layers allow the metallic particles to orient themselves correctly. Give it plenty of drying time between coats to prevent the paint from sagging.
