Buick LeSabre Touch Up Paint (60 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

The Buick LeSabre didn't just come in "Grandma's Garage Grey." With 60 recorded colors over its lifespan, Buick really went for it, offering everything from the sophisticated Galaxy Silver Metallic to the surprisingly bold Dark Toreador Red Metallic. Whether you're driving a Light Bronze Mist Metallic beauty or a Majestic Teal cruiser, you're dealing with a palette designed to look deep, expensive, and-let's be honest-a little bit flashy in the Sunday morning sun.

What to Watch For

Before you start dabbing, we need to find your "paint fingerprint." For the LeSabre, Buick hid the treasure map in the trunk. Pop the lid and look for a silver or white "Service Parts Identification" sticker-usually on the underside of the trunk deck or tucked away on the spare tire cover. You're looking for a code that starts with "WA" or "U" followed by four digits.

Keep an eye on the horizontal surfaces; LeSabres are notorious for the "GM Cloud," where the clear coat on the hood and roof starts to look a bit chalky or begins to flake off in small pieces. If you see the paint starting to lift near the door handles or along the trunk edge, don't panic. It's a common quirk of the era, and catching those spots early with a touch-up pen is exactly how you keep the "luxury" in your luxury sedan.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since so many LeSabre colors-like White Diamond or Silvermist Metallic-rely on heavy metallic flakes and pearls to get that shimmer, your biggest secret weapon is your wrist. Shake that touch-up bottle or pen for at least 60 seconds (actually time it!) to wake up those settled sparkles.

When applying, remember: we aren't frosting a cake. If you have a deep chip, don't try to fill the whole crater in one go. Apply one thin layer, let it dry for 20 minutes, and then come back for a second pass. This "layer-cake" approach keeps the paint from looking like a blob and ensures those metallic flakes lay down flat and shiny, just like they did at the factory. Patience is the difference between a visible "oops" and a repair that disappears at five paces.
