Your Paint Color Profile

WA217M - Cobalt Red (Interior)

The Look

This color defines the cockpit of the Saturn Sky. It is a high-energy, unapologetic red that transformed the interior from a standard cabin into a driver-focused performance space. Because your Sky was designed to be driven with the top down, this pigment has likely endured years of direct UV exposure. This means the original trim might have a slightly different hue now compared to when it left the factory. This red is bold, but it is also honest; it highlights every curve of the plastic trim, making it the focal point of your interior restoration.

Technical Details

This is a solid finish with a specific low-gloss or matte character. Since there are no metallic flakes or pearls to worry about, you do not have to fret over orientation or mottling. However, red pigments are notoriously thin and "transparent" by nature. If you apply it too sparingly, the dark plastic or old scuffs underneath will shadow through the finish. You will likely need more layers than a standard gray or black to achieve a uniform look. The matte nature of the finish is also less forgiving of skin oils, so ensure your hands and the surface are completely clean before you begin.

Best Practices

You can find the service identification sticker for your car located inside the glove box. Before you spray or dab Saturn Cobalt Red (Interior) (check for code WA217M), you need to shake it for 60 seconds to ensure the heavy red pigments are fully suspended. Test the color on the included card to see exactly how many layers are required to reach full opacity. When you apply the paint, keep the container moving to prevent the liquid from pooling in the recessed areas of the dash or console. Give each layer sufficient drying time so the finish sets hard and maintains that factory-correct sheen without becoming tacky.

How to Find Your Saturn's Color Code

Saturn used many different locations for the paint color plate over the years, making it hard to find. The paint code is usually in the glove box or the spare tire well; if not there, it may be elsewhere. GM did not standardize the location across makes and models. Codes like 51/WA316N are often preceded by BC/CC; two tone cars may show U or L (Upper/Lower), e.g., BC/CC U316N or BC/CC L316N. There can be eighteen different code 51's so 316N identifies the color.

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.
