Where to find Buick color code

How to Find Your Buick's Color Code

Buick used many different locations over the years, so the paint color plate can be hard to find. GM did not standardize the location. Commonly cited spots are the glove box or the spare tire well; otherwise it may be anywhere. The code format typically looks like 51/WA316N, usually preceded by BC/CC (BC/CC 51 or BC/CC 316N), and two-tone entries may show U or L (BC/CC U316N or BC/CC L316N).

Your Paint Color Profile

Darkmoon Blue Metallic

The Look

This isn't your average navy. It's midnight in a bottle. Buick Darkmoon Blue Metallic gives the Enclave, Encore, and Envision a heavy, expensive presence. In the shade or under a streetlamp, it's a moody shadow that almost passes for black. Get it into the direct sun and the blue wakes up. It's deep. It's sophisticated. It makes these SUVs look like they belong in a higher tax bracket. If you're fixing a scratch on a 2022 model, you're dealing with a color that hides road grime well but demands a clean finish to really pop.

Technical Details

This is a complex metallic finish. It relies on a heavy load of fine flakes to create that signature depth. Metallics are notorious for "mottling"-where the flakes bunch up and create dark, blotchy patches or stripes. Because this blue is so dark, any unevenness in how those flakes lay down will stand out. You aren't just applying color. You are suspended metal in a clear resin. If you go too heavy, the blue gets muddy. If you go too light, the finish looks grainy.

Best Practices

First, find your code. Look inside the glove box or under the trunk floor mat for the silver Service Parts Identification sticker. Before you touch Buick Darkmoon Blue Metallic (check for code WA428E/WA434E/GLU/G5J), shake the container for at least two full minutes. The metallic flakes in this mix are heavy and sink fast. Test the color on the included card to ensure the flake density looks right. Work in a dry garage or shade. When applying, keep the container moving to ensure the flakes distribute evenly across the repair. Watch your drying time between coats. If it's still tacky, wait. Pushing too fast will trap the solvents and ruin the metallic orientation.

Will absolutely order from this company again.

After ordering touch-up paint from Lexus I was still waiting for it a month later. If they'd told me upfront it would take that long I wouldn't have ordered in the first place. Paint Scratch was recommended by a friend who restores cars. Easy ordering, fair price and fast shipping. The color match is great especially considering my car is a 2012. Will absolutely order from this company again. Reason I chose this business: Lexus collision repair and a local collision repair. Will use paint less dent removal and touch up chipped paint myself. Reason I chose this product: Spouse sideswiped passenger side of car while backing out of garage. Mostly plastic transfer from his wheel well trim but pressure creased and cracked the paint causing a bare strip 1/8 wide x 4” long below door handle. Scratches on door handle and a few small chips on both doors.

Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans

Used Paint Scratch metallic custom mixed spray cans paint on a hood panel with excellent coverage and texture over the surface. Metallic paint can be very unforgiving out of a spray can, sputtering pigmentation dots on the panel being sprayed and thus ruining the paint job. No such issues with Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint spray cans. Paint sprayed strong and evenly till the last drop of paint in the can. Shipping time was faster than expected. Reason I chose this business: Having tried other brands of custom mixed metallic paint with terrible results, sputtering pigmentation tint dots from the spray nozzle in spite of vigorously shaking of can prior to application and loss of propellant rendering the lower fifth of the can's paint useless, Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint sprays out beautifully and strong all the way to the last gram of paint in the can. Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans for automotive restoration. Thank you Paint Scratch.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find my vehicle’s paint code?

Your paint code is usually found in the driver’s door jamb, trunk, or under the hood. See our Buick Paint Code Guide for detailed instructions.

Will this paint match my car?

Yes. If your Buick's color code is 'WA428E/WA434E/GLU/G5J', your paint is custom-mixed to factory specs and backed by our Color Match Guarantee. If the paint does not match your Buick, we will send you a replacement or refund.

Do I need primer and clearcoat?

While primer is recommended on bare metal or plastic, clearcoat is essential: it protects the basecoat and restores factory gloss.

How long does shipping take?

Orders are mixed fresh and ship within 3–5 business days. Delivery takes 2–14 days depending on location.

Which touch up product should I choose?

 It depends on the size of the damage:

  • Paint Pen (½ oz) – Best for very small chips and fine scratches.
  • Brush Bottle (2 oz) – Great for medium chips or scratches up to the size of a quarter.
  • Spray Can – Ideal for larger areas and panels.
  • Professional Sizes (Pint, Quart, Gallon) – Designed for full panel and vehicle resprays using spray equipment.

Not sure? If it’s just rock chips or small scratches, start with a Paint Pen.

Can I return my order?

Yes! If there’s a color match issue, we’ll replace the product or give you your money back. You also can return unopened, non-custom accessories for a full refund.

How long will the paint last in storage?

Paint pens and bottles last about a year if stored cool and dry. Spray cans can last several years if the nozzle is cleaned.
