COLOR CODE20/WA692R - Impression Blue MetallicPontiac Touch-Up Paint

The Look

This color defined the final, sporty chapter of the Pontiac brand. It gave the Grand Prix a sophisticated, high-performance edge and transformed the G3 and Wave from simple commuters into cars with actual personality. It is a deep, professional blue that avoids looking like a toy. Since your Pontiac has likely spent over fifteen years facing the elements, the original finish might have lost some of its factory depth, so a fresh touch-up will immediately make the car look years younger.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, which means the appearance depends entirely on the tiny metal flakes suspended in the liquid. These flakes reflect light to create that signature shimmer. The risk here is mottling. If you apply the paint too heavily in one spot, the flakes will bunch together and create dark, muddy patches that look like a bruise on the car. You want those flakes to lay down flat and even to maintain the consistent glow of the original factory paint.

Best Practices

Look for your service sticker in the glove box or under the trunk carpet near the spare tire to confirm your match. Before you spray or dab Pontiac Impression Blue Metallic (check for code 20/WA692R), you need to shake it for 60 seconds to wake up those settled metallic flakes. Test the color on the included card first to see how the light hits the metal bits. When you start the repair, keep the container moving at a steady pace. Use thin layers and allow for plenty of drying time so the paint doesn't sag or trap the flakes in a clump.
