Buick Riviera Touch Up Paint (28 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Buick really leaned into the "luxury cruiser" vibe with the Riviera, giving us 28 recorded colors that range from the sleek Galaxy Silver Metallic to the dangerously deep Dark Toreador Red Metallic. They even threw in some high-end flair with the Bright White Diamond Pearl Tri-coat-a color that says, "I have a reserved parking spot at the country club." Whether yours is a metallic, a pearl, or a solid Black, Buick clearly wanted these cars to shimmer under streetlights.

What to Watch For

Now, let's talk shop. If you're noticing some "cloudiness" on the hood or if the clear coat is starting to flake off like a bad sunburn, don't panic-you're just experiencing the classic GM "delamination" era. The paint on these beauties can be a bit sensitive to the sun, especially on the flat surfaces like the roof and trunk. Before you start, you'll need your "WA" code. Pop the trunk and look under the lid or check the spare tire cover; you're looking for a silver or white sticker with a code that usually starts with "WA" followed by four numbers.

Driveway Repair Tip

When you're standing there with your touch-up brush, remember: Buick loved their sparkles. If you're working with a metallic like Silvermist or Copper, shake that bottle for at least 60 seconds-longer than you think you need to. Those tiny metallic flakes like to settle at the bottom, and you want them dancing in the paint, not hiding in the jar. Apply your paint in thin, whisper-quiet layers. If you try to fill a chip with one big "glop," it'll look like a zit on a supermodel. Two thin coats are always better than one thick mistake.
