Your Paint Color Profile

WA848/WA8555 - Black (Interior)

The Look

Owning a 9-4X means you are driving a rare piece of automotive history from the final days of the brand. This interior shade was designed to provide a cohesive, understated environment that lets the driver focus on the road. It is a deep, functional color that defines the cabin's sophisticated Swedish aesthetic. Because this was only active for the 2012 model year, maintaining the interior is essential for preserving the value of such a limited-production vehicle. It provides a clean, professional look, though like any dark interior, it will highlight dust and oils if the surfaces are not regularly maintained.

Technical Details

This is a solid finish, meaning it contains no metallic flakes or pearl pigments. While this makes the color much easier to blend than a complex exterior paint, the challenge lies in the sheen. Interior paints are often formulated with a lower gloss or matte finish to prevent distracting reflections inside the cabin. Solid blacks are unforgiving because they show every scratch and imperfection in your prep work. If the repair surface is not smooth, the lack of metallic glitter means there is nothing to hide the flaw. The goal here is a uniform, flat appearance that mimics the original molded plastic or coated trim of your dashboard and door panels.

Best Practices

On this specific model, you can usually find your paint code on the silver Service Parts identification label located inside the glove box or occasionally on the driver's side door jamb. Before you spray or dab Saab Black (Interior) (check for code WA848/WA8555), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. This is vital for interior colors because the flattening agents that control the shine tend to settle at the bottom. Test the color on the included card and let it dry completely to verify that the gloss level matches your trim. Work in the shade of your garage to keep dust at bay. As you apply the paint, keep the container moving to ensure the flow remains even. Use several light layers rather than one heavy coat; this prevents the paint from looking like a raised blob and ensures a much better blend with the surrounding texture. Allow for plenty of drying time between layers to let the finish settle into its final, low-gloss state.

ensuring the right match

Find your Saab paint code

Saab paint codes are normally on the drivers door jamb. On old Saabs, color codes are about impossible to find; other cited locations include the engine compartment and the trunk area (inside the transmission is a joke). Typical code format: 230, which corresponds to: 230 Scarabe Green Metallic Clearcoat. Same Color Code, Different Name: the same paint across models may be called Green Clearcoat or Mystic Green Clearcoat.

Will absolutely order from this company again.

After ordering touch-up paint from Lexus I was still waiting for it a month later. If they'd told me upfront it would take that long I wouldn't have ordered in the first place. Paint Scratch was recommended by a friend who restores cars. Easy ordering, fair price and fast shipping. The color match is great especially considering my car is a 2012. Will absolutely order from this company again. Reason I chose this business: Lexus collision repair and a local collision repair. Will use paint less dent removal and touch up chipped paint myself. Reason I chose this product: Spouse sideswiped passenger side of car while backing out of garage. Mostly plastic transfer from his wheel well trim but pressure creased and cracked the paint causing a bare strip 1/8 wide x 4" long below door handle. Scratches on door handle and a few small chips on both doors.

Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans

Used Paint Scratch metallic custom mixed spray cans paint on a hood panel with excellent coverage and texture over the surface. Metallic paint can be very unforgiving out of a spray can, sputtering pigmentation dots on the panel being sprayed and thus ruining the paint job. No such issues with Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint spray cans. Paint sprayed strong and evenly till the last drop of paint in the can. Shipping time was faster than expected. Reason I chose this business: Having tried other brands of custom mixed metallic paint with terrible results, sputtering pigmentation tint dots from the spray nozzle in spite of vigorously shaking of can prior to application and loss of propellant rendering the lower fifth of the can's paint useless, Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint sprays out beautifully and strong all the way to the last gram of paint in the can. Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans for automotive restoration. Thank you Paint Scratch.
