Pontiac Arctic Bright White (WA9753) Touch Up Paint

The Look

Since your Pontiac has been on the road since 2007, your paint has faced nearly two decades of sun and road salt. This shade was a staple choice for the G3, G5, G6, and Grand Prix because it provides a clean, professional profile that ages better than most dark metallics. It is a clinical, bright white that lacks the creamy or yellow undertones seen in older GM heritage colors. Because of the car's age, your original finish has likely oxidized, so expect the fresh paint to look slightly crisper until it has time to settle and weather.

Technical Details

This is a solid finish, which means it contains no metallic flakes or pearl particles. The absence of flake makes this one of the most straightforward colors to repair because you do not have to worry about the particles settling unevenly or creating dark spots. However, solid white is a magnet for visible road grime and iron deposits. If the repair area is not scrubbed clean, the white will highlight every speck of trapped dirt. It is a high-visibility color that rewards careful preparation over complex application techniques.

Best Practices

You can usually find your color identity on the Service Parts Identification sticker located inside the glove box or occasionally on the spare tire cover in the trunk. Before you spray or dab Pontiac Arctic Bright White (check for code WA9753), you need to shake the container for at least a full minute to ensure the pigments are properly mixed. Test the color on the included card to verify the match against your existing finish. When applying, keep the container moving to prevent heavy buildup and allow for the proper drying time between each light layer. Always perform your work in the garage or the shade to keep the surface cool and protected from wind-blown debris.
