About Pontiac Paint

Pontiac cars have a long history, and the paint changed as the years went by. Older classic models from the 1960s often have softer paint that is easy to polish but needs extra care to keep it looking new. Modern models from the 1990s and 2000s use a hard clear coat that is very good at resisting scratches. You should be aware that some of these newer models can have issues where the top clear layer starts to peel if the car spent a lot of time in the hot sun.

Application Tips

This paint is designed to go on smooth and cover the surface quickly without much effort. It dries fast, which helps you get the job done sooner. When you spray or brush it on, the paint levels itself out nicely so you don't see many bumps or marks. To get the best result, make sure the surface is very clean and any loose or peeling paint is sanded away before you start.

Quick Summary

• Paint Feel: Modern Pontiacs have "hard" paint. This means the finish is tough and stays shiny for a long time, but it takes a little more effort to sand down.
• Best Advice: If your car is from the 1990s or 2000s, check for any "peeling" spots on the clear coat and sand those edges smooth before you paint.
• Pro Tip: It is better to apply three thin layers of paint than one thick layer. Wait about 10 minutes between each coat to let it set.
