COLOR CODEWA312N - Medium Titanium (Interior)Pontiac Touch-Up Paint

The Look

This color is the backbone of the 2008 G5 interior. It is a smart, mid-tone gray that balances the cabin without making it feel like a cave. Because it was designed for the high-traffic areas of your Pontiac, it is excellent at masking the minor scuffs and daily wear that happen near the door handles and center console. If your G5 has been on the road for over a decade, you will likely notice that this shade holds its character well against UV exposure, though the original matte finish may have picked up a bit of a sheen from hand oils over the years.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, which means the paint is packed with tiny flakes designed to catch the light. This adds depth to your plastic trim, but it also creates a specific challenge: if the paint is applied too heavily in one spot, those flakes will bunch up and create a dark, muddy look. To keep the finish even and avoid mottling, you must ensure the flakes lay down flat and uniform. If the color looks too dark during application, it is usually because the metallic particles are sinking into a coat that is too wet.

Best Practices

You can find your paint code on the Service Parts Identification sticker, which is usually tucked away in the trunk under the floor mat or near the spare tire cover. Before you spray or dab Pontiac Medium Titanium (Interior) (check for code WA312N), you need to shake it for 60 seconds to fully suspend the metallic pigments. Test the color on the included card first to see how the metallic behaves. When you move to the actual repair, keep the container moving to ensure the flakes distribute evenly. It is much better to apply three thin, light layers than one heavy one, as this allows the proper drying time for the metallic to "set" in place without shifting.
