Buick Cascada Touch Up Paint (64 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Buick really handed the keys to the creative department when naming the Cascada's 64 recorded colors. We aren't just looking at silver and black here; we're talking about Black Meet Kettle Pearl, Son Of A Gun Gray Metallic, and the ever-provocative You Drive Me Grazy Pearl. They even leaned into the weekend-warrior vibe with Limited Addiction Pearl and Edible Berries Metallic. Whether your Cascada is a subtle Coconut Pearl or a loud Pull Me Over Red, Buick ensured that if you're dropping the top, you're doing it in a color that has a personality of its own.

What to Watch For

Before you get started, you need to find your "Service Parts Identification" sticker. On the Cascada, you'll usually find this tucked away in the glove box or occasionally on the driver's side door pillar. Look for a code starting with "WA" followed by four digits-that's your golden ticket to a match. Regarding the paint itself, the Cascada is known for having a relatively soft clear coat. This means the front bumper and mirror covers are magnets for stone chips, and because it's a convertible, the rear decklid takes a lot of sun. If you see a small chip, jump on it quickly; these modern GM finishes can occasionally "lift" or peel if moisture gets under the clear coat near the edges of the roof or mirrors.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since so many Cascada colors are heavy on the pearls and metallics (I'm looking at you, Flip Chip Pearl), your biggest secret weapon is a timer. Shake your touch-up bottle or pen for a full 60 to 90 seconds. Those tiny metallic flakes like to settle at the bottom, and if you don't wake them up, your repair will look too dark. When applying, think of it like nail polish: use thin, delicate layers rather than one big glob. If you're working with a pearl finish, it requires a little extra patience to build the depth, but taking ten minutes to do three thin coats will always look better than a single five-second smear.
