How to Find Your 1990 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).

1990 Buick Background Info

The 1990 Buick Vibe

1990 was the year Buick tried to prove it was "The New Symbol for Quality in America." Whether you were floating down the interstate in a plush Park Avenue or showing off the digital dash of a Reatta, these cars were built for comfort and presence. While the factory color charts were full of experimental metallics, we've focused on the true survivors of the era. The only colors that truly stood the test of time-and the ones that still look executive today-are the high-gloss Black and the stark, clean White. If your Buick is still on the road, it's likely wearing one of these classic monochromatic suits.

Paint Health Check

Welcome to the heart of the "Peeling Era." By 1990, General Motors had fully committed to the Basecoat/Clearcoat (BC/CC) system, but the chemistry hadn't quite caught up to the ambition. The biggest threat to your 1990 Buick isn't rust-it's delamination. This is the "salty" reality where the clear coat loses its grip on the color coat and starts to flake off in sheets like a bad sunburn. Once the UV rays bridge that gap, the clear coat becomes brittle and lifts, leaving the base coat exposed, dull, and defenseless against the elements.

Restoration Tip

With 1990 paint, you have to be a surgeon, not a sailor. Because this era is notorious for clear coat failure, you need to seal chips immediately before the clear coat starts to lift at the edges. If you see a small stone chip, don't wait for the weekend; air and moisture are the enemies that crawl under the clear and widen the gap. When applying your touch-up, build your layers slowly and ensure you overlap the edges of the existing clear slightly to "lock" it down. Whatever you do, don't try to power-buff a spot where the clear is already flaking-you'll just turn a small repair into a full-panel repaint.
