COLOR CODE75/WA411P - Techno Gray MetallicSaturn Touch-Up Paint

The Look

This color defines the final, high-water mark of Saturn design. It provided a sophisticated, industrial edge to the Saturn Sky roadster and gave the Aura sedan a presence that punched well above its price class. Since your vehicle has likely been on the road since 2008 or 2009, this gray has probably held up better than most. It is excellent at hiding light road dust and salt, though its darker tone will make deep scratches more visible than a traditional silver. You are working with a color that feels modern even today, but after years of sun and weather, the original finish on your Vue or Aura may have lost some of its factory depth.

Technical Details

This is a complex metallic finish packed with fine aluminum flakes. While it creates a beautiful depth in sunlight, metallics require a steady hand to avoid mottling. Mottling happens when the metallic flakes bunch together in wet patches, creating dark, uneven "clouds" in the finish rather than a smooth, uniform gray. Because this shade relies on light reflecting off those tiny particles, the way you lay the paint down determines the final look. If you apply it too heavily in one spot, the color will appear darker and muddy.

Best Practices

On most Saturn models, you can find your paint code label inside the glove box or tucked under the spare tire cover in the trunk. Before you spray or dab Saturn Techno Gray Metallic (check for code 75/WA411P), you must shake the container for at least a full minute. This ensures the heavy metallic flakes are not sitting at the bottom. Test the color on the included card to verify the match before you touch the car. When applying, keep the container moving to ensure an even distribution of flakes. Work in a covered garage or a patch of shade to keep the surface cool, and allow plenty of drying time between thin layers to build the color correctly.
