Saturn Light Gray Metallic (wheel) (WA951K) Touch Up Paint

The Look

This color comes from the final chapter of the Saturn story. Since your Vue has likely spent over a decade facing highway debris and curb edges, your wheels have probably lost their original luster. This isn't a flashy chrome; it is a grounded, industrial silver designed to mask the inevitable buildup of brake dust while providing a clean, factory-fresh shimmer. It provides a neutral, sophisticated backdrop that keeps the vehicle looking maintained even when it has a few miles on the odometer.

Technical Details

This finish is a true metallic, meaning it is packed with tiny flakes that reflect light to create depth. Metallic paints are practical for hiding small surface scratches, but they are sensitive to how you apply them. If the paint pools or goes on too heavy, those metallic particles will cluster together and create dark, uneven spots. This effect, often called mottling, makes the repair look like a bruise on the wheel. To get the best result, you want to build the color with light, even layers rather than trying to cover the damage in one pass.

Best Practices

Locate your identification sticker inside the glove box or tucked away in the spare tire well under the trunk floor. Before you spray or dab Saturn Light Gray Metallic (wheel) (check for code WA951K), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. This is the only way to ensure the heavy metallic flakes are fully suspended in the paint. Test the color on the included card to see how the silver settles. When you start the repair, keep the container moving at all times to ensure the finish stays uniform. Give the paint plenty of drying time between coats so you do not disturb the metallic layout of the previous layer.
