Find Your Cadillac CTS-V Paint Code

Cadillac used many locations for paint codes, making them hard to find, often impossible. GM (parent company of Cadillac) did not standardize the plate location. Usually the code is in the glove box or the spare tire well; otherwise it may be elsewhere. The typical format is 51/WA316N, usually preceded by BC/CC (e.g., BC/CC 51 or BC/CC 316N). There are two codes in one, and a U or L may precede for Upper or Lower. Two-tone examples: BC/CC U316N or BC/CC L316N.

The Color Breakdown

The Cadillac CTS-V didn't just come to play on the track; it came to look good in the winner's circle. With 22 recorded colors, Cadillac really gave us the full spectrum. We saw everything from the boardroom-ready Dark Ming Blue Metallic to the "look at me" energy of Arrival Blue Metallic. They even flirted with some unique personality in the Antique Bronze Metallic. Whether yours is a stealthy Dark Spiral Gray or the sparkling White Diamond Tri-coat, this car was built to make a statement-even if that statement is currently being interrupted by a few rock chips.

What to Watch For

Because the CTS-V is essentially a Corvette in a tuxedo, it tends to collect "speed souvenirs"-those tiny rock chips on the front bumper and the hood from enjoying all that horsepower. Owners often notice the clear coat can be a bit sensitive, picking up light surface scratches easily, so treat it with kindness.

Before you start, you'll need your "ID card." On the CTS-V, your paint code is usually hiding in the trunk. Lift up the spare tire cover and look for a silver or white "Service Parts Identification" sticker. You're looking for a code that starts with "WA" or "U" (like WA8554). If you have a 2018 or newer model, check the driver's side door pillar for a QR code that you can scan with your phone to reveal the secret recipe.

Driveway Repair Tip

Many of these Cadillac colors, especially the White Diamond and the Effect shades, are packed with metallic flakes and pearls. These heavy sparkles like to settle at the bottom of the bottle while they sit on the shelf. To get a perfect match, shake your touch-up bottle for a full two minutes-long after you think you're done-to wake up those crystals.

When filling in those front bumper chips, don't try to fill the whole crater in one go. Think of it like icing a tiny cupcake: use a toothpick or the very tip of your brush to place one small drop in the center and let it spread itself out. Two thin layers will always look smoother than one big blob that stands out like a sore thumb. Patience is your best friend here!

Before you order Cadillac CTS-V paint

How do I confirm the right color for my Cadillac CTS-V?

Use the paint code from the Cadillac CTS-V label and match it to the color page before ordering. The model page narrows the list, but the paint code decides the match.

Where do I find the paint code for Cadillac CTS-V?

For the Cadillac CTS-V, start with the make-specific code guidance: Cadillac used many locations for paint codes, making them hard to find, often impossible. GM (parent company of Cadillac) did not standardize the plate location. Usually the code is in the glove box or the spare tire well; otherwise it may be elsewhere. The typical format is 51/WA316N, usually preceded by BC/CC (e.g., BC/CC 51 or BC/CC 316N). There are two codes in one, and a U or L may precede for Upper or Lower.

Why should I use the paint code instead of the color name?

The paint code is safer than the color name. Similar names can appear on different years, models, or makes.

What if the code is missing?

Use the paint code guide, check other label locations, or ask a dealer to look up the code by VIN before ordering.

Can trim, bumper, or finish differences affect Cadillac CTS-V touch up paint?

Yes. Body paint, trim paint, wheel paint, textured parts, and special finishes can use different materials or codes for Cadillac CTS-V. Match the exterior paint code for body-color repairs, and verify a separate finish before ordering paint for trim, wheels, or unpainted parts.

What product should I choose for Cadillac CTS-V repair?

For Cadillac CTS-V repair, use a pen for tiny chips, a bottle for small chips or short scratches, a spray can for larger areas that can be masked, and PRO sizes for panel or spray-gun work. Choose a kit when the repair also needs primer, clearcoat, sanding, or polishing supplies.
