Buick Lucerne Touch Up Paint (69 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Buick didn't just give us a color palette for the Lucerne; they gave us a whole mood board. With 69 recorded colors, they really went for it, offering everything from the sophisticated White Diamond Pri Metallic Tri-coat and Dark Brahma Jewel Metallic to the surprisingly bold Mighty Blue. Whether your car is a "50 shades of grey" contender or a deep Crystal Claret, the Lucerne was designed to look expensive even when it was just sitting at a stoplight.

What to Watch For

Now, let's be real: GM paint from this era sometimes likes to "social distance" itself from the car. It's common to see the clear coat start to get a bit cloudy or even peel away from the primer on the hood, roof, and trunk. If you see a tiny chip, address it early before it turns into a larger peeling project. Your first mission is a trunk treasure hunt. Open your trunk and lift the spare tire cover; you're looking for a silver "Service Parts Identification" sticker. Scan for the code near the bottom, usually starting with a "U" or "WA" (like WA800J).

Driveway Repair Tip

Since so many Lucerne colors are "Tricoats" or high-flake metallics (looking at you, White Gold and Carbon Flash), your secret weapon is patience. These colors rely on depth, so don't try to fill a chip with one giant, thick blob of paint. Instead, shake your touch-up bottle for at least 60 seconds to wake up those metallic flakes, then apply 2-3 very thin layers. If you're using a Tricoat, let the base color dry completely before adding the pearl mid-coat. It's the difference between a repair that disappears and one that looks like a "oops" moment.
