Where to find Cadillac color code

How to Find Your Cadillac's Color 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.

Your Paint Color Profile

Son Of A Gun Gray Metallic

The Look

This isn't your grandfather's silver. It is a heavy, industrial charcoal that defines the executive presence of the CT6 and XTS. It feels architectural. On a cloudy day, it's a deep, moody storm. Under the sun, the metallic depth wakes up. It's serious. It's focused. If you wanted to blend into the pavement, you'd buy a beige sedan. You bought this because it looks like machined steel.

Technical Details

This is a high-load metallic finish. That means the flake density is high. If you get lazy, those flakes will bunch up and create dark spots or "tiger stripes." It is a base-clear system. The color will look flat and dull until the clear coat hits it. Don't panic when the first layer looks like chalkboard paint. That's the physics of the pigment. Before you spray or dab Cadillac Son Of A Gun Gray Metallic (check for code G7Q/GK1/GK2/GPF/WA527B), you need to shake it for 60 seconds.

Best Practices

Pop the trunk. Look in the spare tire well or on the underside of the lid for the silver Service Parts ID sticker. If it's not there, check the driver's door jamb. Once you have the match, find some shade. Heat is your enemy here. Test the color on the included card. If the flakes look uneven, shake the container more. When applying, keep the container moving. Use thin, overlapping passes. Thick coats will drown the metallic flake and ruin the light reflection. Give it plenty of drying time between layers. Patience builds the depth.

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 Cadillac Paint Code Guide for detailed instructions.

Will this paint match my car?

Yes. If your Cadillac's color code is 'G7Q/GK1/GK2/GPF/WA527B', your paint is custom-mixed to factory specs and backed by our Color Match Guarantee. If the paint does not match your Cadillac, 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.
