COLOR CODE06/WA983L - Mary Kay Pink Pearl TricoatPontiac Touch-Up Paint

The Look

This color is much more than a simple paint choice; it is a trophy. Since your G5 has likely spent nearly two decades as a conversation starter, you already know that this pale, pearlescent pink is one of the rarest finishes on the road. It was created specifically for the top tier of Mary Kay sales directors, turning a standard coupe into a symbol of professional success. In the shade, it can look like a soft, tinted white, but once the sun hits the body lines, the pearl layers wake up to reveal a glowing pink depth that sets it apart from any other car in the parking lot.

Technical Details

This finish is a complex tricoat, meaning it relies on three distinct layers to create its signature glow. Unlike a standard metallic that uses silver flakes, this pearl finish uses translucent mica to catch the light. This creates a specific challenge: the final color depends entirely on how many layers of the pearl mid-coat you apply. If you go too heavy, the pink will become noticeably darker than the rest of the car. If you are too light, it will look like a flat white. It is a high-stakes finish that rewards patience and a steady hand.

Best Practices

Before you apply Pontiac Mary Kay Pink Pearl Tricoat (check for code 06/WA983L), you need to shake the container for at least sixty seconds. Those pearl particles are heavy and settle at the bottom quickly. You can find your official color code on the silver Service Parts Identification sticker inside your glove box or under the trunk carpet on the spare tire cover. Because the color depth changes with every coat, you must test the color on the included card first to determine exactly how many layers of pearl you need to match your car. Whether you are using a nozzle or a pen, keep the container moving to avoid dark spots. Work in your garage or a patch of shade, and give the paint plenty of drying time between layers to ensure the pearl settles into a smooth, even finish.
