Pontiac Cashmere Metallic (19/WA929L) Touch Up Paint

The Look

Pontiac Cashmere Metallic was a brief, classy departure from the brand's usual high-energy reds and deep blacks. During its short run in 2007, this shade gave models like the G6 and Grand Prix a more mature, upscale presence that leaned into the champagne-gold luxury trends of the era. If you drive a G3 or G5, this color adds a layer of sophistication that helps a smaller car punch above its weight class. It is arguably the most practical color Pontiac ever used because it masks road dust and light scratches better than any other finish. Since your car has likely spent nearly two decades in the elements, a fresh touch-up will restore that warm, liquid-gold glow that originally set it apart from the standard silver pack.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, which means the paint is loaded with tiny particles designed to reflect light from different angles. Metallics are sensitive to application style. If you apply the paint too heavily or hold your tool too close to the panel, the flakes will clump together and create dark, cloudy spots known as mottling. To get a factory-quality finish, you need those metal particles to lay down flat and even. It is a finish that rewards patience and thin layers rather than one heavy coat.

Best Practices

You can usually find your paint sticker tucked inside the glove box or on the spare tire cover in the trunk. Before you spray or dab Pontiac Cashmere Metallic (check for code 19/WA929L), you need to shake it for a full 60 seconds to ensure the metallic flakes are fully suspended in the pigment. Always test the color on the included card before you touch the car to see how the flakes settle. Work in your garage or the shade to keep the metal surface from getting too hot, which can cause the paint to dry before it levels out. Keep the container moving at all times during application to maintain an even flow, and allow for a full drying time between coats so the metallic structure stays stable.
