Cadillac All Other Models Paint Info
The Color Breakdown
Cadillac didn't just pick a palette; they curated a legacy. With 260 colors on the books, they really went for it-ranging from the legendary Mary Kay Pink Pearl Tricoat (a true driveway status symbol) to the delightfully adventurous Pastel Waxberry. Whether you are rocking the deep Galaxy Silver Metallic or something as elegantly named as Light Medici Metallic, Cadillac paint was designed to make an entrance. With choices like "Burnished Umber" and "Seaspray Green," it's clear the designers were having a lot of fun in the styling studio.
What to Watch For
To find your specific color code, you'll need to play a quick game of hide-and-seek. Look for the Service Parts Identification sticker; it's usually a white or silver label hiding under the trunk lid, on the spare tire cover, or tucked inside the glove box. Look for a code starting with "WA" or "U." On older models and even some newer ones, Cadillac clear coats can get a little "tired" or start to peel-particularly on the plastic bumpers and the leading edge of the hood. If you see the paint starting to bubble or flake near the door handles, don't worry; it's a common quirk you can handle with a little attention before it decides to travel.
Driveway Repair Tip
Since Cadillac is the king of the "Tricoat" (like the famous White Diamond Pearl), your touch-up bottle is holding a lot of complex sparkles. Shake that bottle for at least a full 60 seconds-longer than you think is necessary-to wake up those pearls and metallics so they don't stay huddled at the bottom. When you go to apply it, remember: thin layers are your best friend. Use the tip of the brush to dab the color into the chip rather than painting a long line. If the color looks a little light at first, stay calm; these deeper pearls require patience and a second light coat to really find their groove and match the surrounding shine.
