2020 Buick Touch Up Paint (26 OEM Colors)

The 2020 Buick Vibe

2020 was a strange year for everyone, but at the Buick plant, they were clearly keeping busy with the color wheel. While most of the world was stuck indoors, models like the Enclave, Envision, and the sleek Regal were rolling off the line in a staggering variety of 26 different shades. Buick really leaned into the "premium" identity that year, giving us gems like Black Meet Kettle Pearl and the high-visibility Pull Me Over Red. It was a time of sophisticated pearls and deep metallics, where even a grocery-getter like the Encore could look like it belonged in a high-end valet line-provided you chose a head-turner like Zanzibar Metallic.

Paint Health Check

Welcome to the Thin Paint Era. By 2020, "Robot Efficiency" had become the law of the land. Those factory sprayers are so precise they can stretch a cup of Satin Steel Gray across an entire zip code. The finish looks like a mirror when it's fresh, but the reality is that these modern factory enamels are applied thinner than your patience during a three-hour video call. If you own a 2020 Buick, you've likely noticed that the hood and front fascia are absolute magnets for rock chips. A single stray pebble doesn't just nick the surface; it feels like it's wounding the car's soul because there just isn't much "meat" to the clear coat. You might also see some early signs of the clear lifting in the tight spots, like the rain gutters or roof rails, where the robot might have been a little too stingy.

Restoration Tip

When you're touching up a 2020 finish, remember: you're a surgeon, not a house painter. Because the factory coat is so thin, a big, heavy blob of touch-up paint is going to stick out like a sore thumb. For those deep chips in your Abalone White Tricoat or Dark Moon Blue Pearl, you need to build your layers slowly. Apply a tiny amount, let it dry completely, and repeat until the chip is level with the surrounding surface. Don't try to fill the Grand Canyon in one shot. If you take your time and build it up, you can mimic that factory-flat look without making it obvious you were ever there.
