Cadillac Allante Touch Up Paint (13 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

The Cadillac Allante was GM's attempt to marry Italian style with American muscle, and they certainly didn't hold back on the palette. We've recorded 13 total colors for this Pininfarina-designed cruiser, ranging from the fiery Red (often called "Euro Red" by enthusiasts) to the sophisticated Champagne Metallic and the ultra-sleek Silver Metallic. They really went for it with the metallic and pearl finishes-they wanted these cars to shimmer under the neon lights of the late '80s and early '90s.

What to Watch For

Before you start, you've got to find your secret handshake: the paint code. On an Allante, skip the door jams and head straight for the trunk. You'll find the service parts identification sticker tucked away in the spare tire wheel well. Look for a code starting with "WA" or "BC/CC U" followed by four digits.

As these beauties age, keep a close eye on the plastic rocker panels and the flat top surfaces like the trunk lid; the paint there has a habit of getting tired and peeling or fading after decades in the sun. If you see a little bubbling near the door handles, don't panic-it's a common "Allante quirk" that a steady hand and a fresh vial of paint can easily tidy up.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since Cadillac leaned heavily into those high-end sparkles, my best advice for your touch-up pen or brush is all in the wrist: shake that bottle for at least 60 to 90 seconds. Those metallic flakes are heavy and love to nap at the bottom of the vial; you need them swimming around to get a good match. When you apply it, think "thin and patient." If you're working with one of the pearl or tri-coat whites, it requires patience-dab on a tiny bit, let it dry, and then decide if you need a second layer. It's much easier to add a little more than to deal with a big, gloopy teardrop on your Italian-designed fender.
