Buick Verano Touch Up Paint (53 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Buick really went for it with the Verano, recording a staggering 53 different colors over its lifetime. We're talking about a lineup that ranges from the surprisingly poetic Old Blue Eyes Metallic and Royal Flush Blush Metallic to the slightly aggressive Son Of A Gun Gray Metallic and Black Meet Kettle Pearl. Whether you're driving a sophisticated Mocha Bronze Metallic or a flashy Limited Addiction Pearl, your car was designed to look like a premium lounge on wheels.

What to Watch For

Now for the honest truth: Buick's "premium" finish can be a bit sensitive. If you have one of the darker metallics, keep a close eye on your hood and roof. Many Verano owners notice "checking"-those tiny, hairline cracks that look like a spiderweb under the clear coat-or general fading on the trunk lid. Before you start your repair, you need to find your "recipe." Pop your trunk and lift the carpet; you're looking for a silver or white sticker in the spare tire well. Look for a code starting with "WA" or "U" (like WA8555). If it's not there, check the inside of your glove box.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since so many Verano colors are heavy on the pearls and metallics (we see you, White Diamond Tricoat), your biggest hurdle is "the flake." Those tiny sparkles like to settle at the bottom of the bottle. Shake your touch-up pen or bottle for a full two minutes-long after you think you're done-to wake up those metallic bits. When applying, don't try to "paint" a line. Instead, use the tip of the brush to dab or dot the paint into the chip. These high-pigment Buick colors require patience; three paper-thin layers will always look better than one thick, dark blob that stands out like a sore thumb.
