Cadillac CT4 Touch Up Paint (51 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Cadillac didn't just give the CT4 a paint job; they gave it a personality crisis in the best way possible. With 51 recorded colors, they really went for it. You've got everything from the self-aware Black Meet Kettle Pearl to the daring Pull Me Over Red and the mysterious Nagini. Whether your car is dressed in Typhoon or Abalone White Tricoat, Cadillac clearly decided that "subtle" was a suggestion, not a rule.

What to Watch For

Before you start dabbling with that touch-up brush, you need to find your "Service Parts Identification" sticker. On the CT4, look first at the driver's side door jamb for a silver sticker or a QR code. If it's not there, check inside the glove box. Look for a code starting with "WA" or "U" followed by four digits-that's your golden ticket.

In terms of the "real world" wear, the CT4 has a bit of a reputation for a thinner clear coat. Keep a close eye on the horizontal surfaces like the hood, where tiny factory dust nibs can sometimes catch the wind and turn into chips. Also, check the edges of the doors; the paint there can be a bit sensitive to tight parking spots and light bumps.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since so many of these CT4 colors are pearls or high-end metallics (looking at you, Tigerlilly Metallic), your bottle of paint is basically a snow globe of sparkle. Shake that bottle for at least 60 seconds-and I mean really muscle it-to wake up those metallic flakes so they don't all sit at the bottom. When you apply it, don't try to fill the chip in one go. Think of it like a tiny layer cake: apply one thin layer, wait 15 minutes, and then add another until it's level. It requires a little patience, but it's the difference between a "fix" and a "glob."
