Buick Encore Touch Up Paint (111 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Buick didn't just give the Encore a color palette; they gave it a personality crisis. With 111 recorded colors, they really went for it. You might be driving anything from the suspiciously delicious Edible Berries Metallic to the aggressively named Son Of A Gun Gray. They even got poetic with Black Meet Kettle Pearl and Old Blue Eyes Metallic. Whether your Encore is a classic Summit White or a high-drama Liquor Brown Pearl, the sheer variety means Buick wanted this little SUV to stand out in a parking lot full of "standard" grays.

What to Watch For

Here's the reality: Buick's paint can be a bit "diet-friendly"-meaning it's known for being a little on the thin side. Because of the Encore's snub-nose design, the hood and front bumper are absolute magnets for road debris, leading to those annoying little pepper-flake chips. If you have one of the white tricoats, like Snowflake White or Abalone White, keep an eye on the roof and door handles, as the clear coat can sometimes get a little shy and start to lift. To find your exact match, skip the door jamb first and head straight for the glovebox. Look for a silver or white "Service Parts Identification" sticker; your code will usually start with "WA" followed by four digits.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since so many Encore colors are heavy on the pearls and metallics (we're looking at you, Deep Espresso), your best friend is a stopwatch. Before you touch the car, shake that touch-up bottle for a full 60 seconds-longer than you think you need-to wake up all those tiny metallic flakes that have settled at the bottom. If you're working with a "Tricoat" (a color that comes with two separate pens), remember that patience is your primary tool. Apply the base color in thin, light "dabs" rather than one thick smear. Let it dry completely before adding the pearl mid-coat. It's not about finishing fast; it's about making that chip disappear so well you forget where it was.
