Pontiac Grand Prix Touch Up Paint (96 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

The Pontiac Grand Prix didn't just show up to the party; it brought the entire spice rack. With 96 total colors recorded over its lifespan, GM really went for it. You'll find everything from the ubiquitous Galaxy Silver Metallic and Pewter Metallic to the more adventurous Sunburst Orange II Metallic and the deep Dark Toreador Red. Whether your Grand Prix is a classic commuter or a supercharged GTP, there's a high chance it's wearing a shade of metallic that was designed to catch the sun (and the occasional envious glance at a stoplight).

What to Watch For

Now, let's talk shop. If you're seeing your paint start to "flake" or look like it has a bad sunburn, you aren't alone. Many Grand Prix models from the late '90s and 2000s suffer from clear coat peeling, particularly on the roof, trunk, and those plastic door handles. Before you start dabbing, you need to find your "Service Parts Identification" sticker to get the exact match. Look for a white or silver label under the trunk deck lid or stuck to the spare tire cover. If it's not there, check the glove box. You're looking for a code that starts with "WA" or "U" (like WA8554)-that's the DNA of your specific shade.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since so many Grand Prix colors are heavy on the metallic flakes (looking at you, Silvermist and Blue Metallic), your biggest hurdle is "settling." Those tiny sparkles love to sink to the bottom of the touch-up bottle. Shake your paint pen or bottle for a full 60 seconds-longer than you think you need to-to wake up those metallics. When applying, don't try to fill a deep chip in one go. If you drop a big glob of metallic paint into a hole, the flakes will stand up at weird angles and look like a dark spot. Instead, use the tip of your brush to apply two or three paper-thin layers, letting it dry for 15 minutes between each. It requires a little patience, but it's the difference between a "scar" and a "disappearing act."
