Saturn Stealth Grey Metallic (46/WA928L) Touch Up Paint

The Look

Your Saturn was built during an era when the brand was shedding its plastic-paneled reputation for a more sophisticated, European-inspired aesthetic. Whether you are fixing a chip on a family Relay or a scratch on a sleek Aura, Ion, or L-Series, this color was the professional choice of the mid-2000s. It is a deep, architectural charcoal that gives the car a moody, modern edge. It lacks the boring, flat quality of budget silvers and instead provides a substantial, heavy presence that still looks contemporary on the road today.

Technical Details

This is a true metallic finish, which means its beauty comes from microscopic flakes suspended in the paint. These flakes are responsible for the shimmer and depth you see in the sun. The danger with this type of finish is mottling, where the metallic particles clump together and create dark splotches or uneven stripes. Because your car has likely seen nearly two decades of sun and weather, the original finish might be slightly more matte than the fresh paint in your hand. Cleaning the repair area thoroughly is vital to ensure the new flakes lay flat and reflect light at the same angle as the old ones.

Best Practices

To confirm your match, you can usually find your identification label inside the glove box or tucked away in the trunk under the spare tire cover. Before you apply your Saturn Stealth Grey Metallic (check your label for code 46/WA928L), you must shake the container for a full two minutes. This is non-negotiable for metallics; those heavy flakes settle at the bottom and need to be forced back into the mix. Always test the color on the included card to see how the flakes distribute. When you work in your garage or the shade, keep the container moving to prevent the paint from pooling. Use thin layers and allow for plenty of drying time between passes to build a finish that matches the factory texture.
