Saturn Bluestone Metallic (72/WA302N) Touch Up Paint

The Look

Since your Saturn Sky has been on the road for over fifteen years, this unique shade likely shows its age through tiny rock chips on the hood and nose. This was a one-year wonder for the 2008 model year, a refined, cool-toned blue that works well with the roadster's sharp body lines. It acts like a chameleon, appearing almost silver in the shade but waking up with a bright blue shimmer under direct sunlight. Because this color is light, any deep damage that reaches the dark primer underneath will stand out, making a repair important for keeping the car's silhouette intact.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, which means it contains tiny flakes of aluminum designed to reflect light at different angles. These flakes help hide light surface scratches, but they create a specific challenge during a repair. If you apply the paint too heavily in one spot, the metallic particles bunch together and create a dark, blotchy effect. To get the repair to blend with the original finish, you need to ensure those flakes lay down flat and even across the surface.

Best Practices

Before you apply Saturn Bluestone Metallic (check for code 72/WA302N on the service parts label inside your glove box or trunk), you must shake your container for at least two full minutes. The metallic particles are heavy and sink to the bottom fast; if you do not mix them thoroughly, the color will appear too grey or thin. Test the color on the included card to get a feel for how the paint flows from your nozzle or pen. When you move to the car, keep the container moving to prevent the paint from pooling in the center of the chip. Allow plenty of drying time between light coats to build the color gradually.
