Pontiac Montana Touch Up Paint (52 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

The Pontiac Montana didn't just move families; it did it in a surprising spectrum of 52 different shades. Pontiac really went for it here, offering everything from the regal Crimson King and Dark Cherry Metallic to the quintessential "minivan chic" of Galaxy Silver Metallic and Light Sandrift Metallic. Whether your Montana is dressed in a deep Black Sapphire or a nature-inspired Fernmist Green, you're working with a palette that was designed to look sharp in a suburban driveway-and with a little help, it still can.

What to Watch For

First things first: let's find your "secret identity" code. Pop open the glove box and look for a silver or white sticker filled with three-digit codes-it looks a bit like a grocery receipt from space. You're looking for a code near the bottom that starts with "U" or "WA" (like WA8554). Now, the reality is that these vans were the workhorses of the 2000s. Because of that massive, sloping hood, they are magnets for stone chips. You might also notice the clear coat on the roof or the tops of the sliding doors starting to look a bit "sunburnt" or flaky. Don't panic; it's common for GMs of this era. While some of the more complex pearls like Dark Teal Pri Metallic require patience to match perfectly, most of these colors are very forgiving for a driveway fix.

Driveway Repair Tip

If you're using a touch-up pen or a small brush on those hood chips, remember that "less is more." Instead of trying to fill a deep chip with one big glob of Silvermist Metallic, think of it like building a tiny layer cake. Apply a thin dab, let it dry for 15 minutes, and then come back for a second layer if it needs more height. Also, since many Montana colors are heavy on the metallic flakes, give your paint bottle a vigorous shake for a full 60 seconds. You want to wake up those sparkles so they don't all stay huddled at the bottom of the bottle!
