How to Find Your 1982 Buick's Color Code

Buick used many different locations over the years, so the paint color plate can be hard to find. GM did not standardize the location. Commonly cited spots are the glove box or the spare tire well; otherwise it may be anywhere. The code format typically looks like 51/WA316N, usually preceded by BC/CC (BC/CC 51 or BC/CC 316N), and two-tone entries may show U or L (BC/CC U316N or BC/CC L316N).

The 1982 Buick Vibe

Welcome to 1982-the year the Regal was basically the king of the suburban driveway and the Riviera was the peak of "I've made it" luxury. Buick didn't hold back on the palette either; we're talking a massive spread of 23 different ways to make a statement. Whether you were rocking Castillian Bronze Metallic, Dark Jadestone Metallic, or the surprisingly bold Marigold, your Buick was a rolling testament to the era of earth tones and "sport-luxe" metallics. It was a time when a car didn't just have a color; it had a presence that usually involved a lot of chrome and a velvet-smooth ride.

Paint Health Check

Now, let's talk shop. In 1982, we were firmly in the Single Stage Era. This was long before the days of burying color under a clear plastic shell. Your paint is a hard-working layer of pigment that's been exposed to the elements for over four decades. The "Legend" of these Buicks is that they were built like tanks, but the reality is that without a clear coat, that Sable Black or Dark Redwood Metallic is prone to "chalking." If you rub your hand across the hood and it comes away looking like you've been playing with sidewalk chalk, that's oxidation. The sun is literally baking the life out of the pigment, leaving a dull, white haze where the shine used to be.

Restoration Tip

If your Buick is looking a little thirsty, remember the golden rule of 1982: It needs wax or it dies. Because there's no clear coat to protect the color, the paint itself has to stand up to the UV rays and rain. When you're doing a repair, you aren't just matching a shade; you're feeding the finish. After you've touched up those stone chips or blended a panel, you have to keep that surface sealed. Use a high-quality wax or sealant to give that single-stage pigment a fighting chance. If you leave it "naked," the oxidation will be back before the next oil change. Keep it waxed, keep it greasy, and that Buckskin Metallic will keep turning heads like it's 1982 all over again.
