Where to find Saturn color code

How to Find Your Saturn's Color Code

Saturn used many different locations for the paint color plate over the years, making it hard to find. The paint code is usually in the glove box or the spare tire well; if not there, it may be elsewhere. GM did not standardize the location across makes and models. Codes like 51/WA316N are often preceded by BC/CC; two tone cars may show U or L (Upper/Lower), e.g., BC/CC U316N or BC/CC L316N. There can be eighteen different code 51's so 316N identifies the color.

Your Paint Color Profile

Pannacotta Beige Metallic

The Look

This color is a direct carryover from the European Opel playbook. Because your Astra was designed for the streets of Germany before landing in North America, it wears a shade that is much more sophisticated than a standard rental-car tan. It is a warm, champagne-toned beige that was meant to give the Astra a premium edge during its short 2008-2010 run. One of the best things about this color is how well it handles real-world use; it hides road dust and light salt better than almost any other finish from that era. Since your car has likely been on the road for over fifteen years, you will find that this paint holds its depth remarkably well against the sun.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, which means it relies on a precise suspension of tiny flakes to create that soft, creamy glow. These flakes are heavy and love to sink to the bottom of the container. If they are not distributed perfectly, the paint will look like dull mud instead of a metallic shimmer. There is a real risk of the color looking too dark if the flakes bunch up, a problem often caused by applying the paint too thick or failing to keep the mixture agitated. You want those flakes to lay flat and even so they catch the light at the same angle as the original factory finish in the shade of your garage.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Saturn Pannacotta Beige Metallic (check for code 167/1RUWA250M), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. You can usually find this paint code on the passenger side B-pillar door jamb or inside the glove box on the service parts ID sticker. To get the best results, apply the paint in thin, light layers. Test the color on the included card first to make sure the metallic shimmer is consistent. When working, keep the container moving to prevent the flakes from pooling in one spot. Give each layer plenty of drying time before adding the next. This patience prevents the metallic particles from shifting, ensuring the repair blends into the rest of the panel.

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 Saturn Paint Code Guide for detailed instructions.

Will this paint match my car?

Yes. If your Saturn's color code is '167/1RUWA250M', your paint is custom-mixed to factory specs and backed by our Color Match Guarantee. If the paint does not match your Saturn, 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.
