Buick All Other Models Touch Up Paint (347 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Buick didn't just pick a palette; they curated an entire history of design with a staggering 347 colors recorded for these models. They really went for it, moving from the sophisticated Polo Green Metallic to the surprisingly adventurous Pastel Waxberry and Rootbeer Metallic. Whether your car is finished in Bright White Diamond Pearl or Flame Red, Buick has spent decades making sure no two parking lots look exactly the same.

What to Watch For

If you're hunting for your paint code, grab a flashlight-you're going on a scavenger hunt. Buick loves to hide the Service Parts Identification sticker in "creative" places. Check the glove box first, then the trunk deck lid, and if it's still missing, lift the spare tire cover. You're looking for a code that usually starts with "WA" or follows a "U" (for Upper body color). As for the paint itself, Buicks of a certain vintage can be a little sensitive. You might notice the clear coat "checking" or "crazing"-which is just a fancy way of saying it looks like thousands of tiny cracks on the hood or roof. If you see small chips, address them quickly; these models are known for having a slightly softer top layer that appreciates a little DIY love before a chip turns into a flake.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since so many Buick colors-like White Diamond Tricoat or the various Waxberry metallics-rely on heavy flake and pearl, your biggest weapon is the "The Shake." Shake your touch-up pen or bottle for at least 60 seconds. You need to wake up those metallic particles that have settled at the bottom so they flow evenly onto your brush. When you apply the paint, think of it like a manicure: thin, light layers are your best friend. If you try to fill a deep chip with one big blob, it will take forever to dry and look uneven. Dab a tiny bit, let it dry for 20 minutes, and repeat until the hole is filled. Your patience will be rewarded with a finish that looks like it rolled right off the assembly line.
