Cadillac CT5 Touch Up Paint (49 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Cadillac really went for it with the CT5, recording a staggering 49 colors that range from "sensible executive" to "I'm definitely getting a speeding ticket." We've got everything from the classic Summit White to the aggressively named Caught Red Handed Tricoat and Black Meet Kettle Pearl. They even threw in some wildcards like Cyber Yellow and Nagini. With a palette this deep, your car isn't just a color; it's a personality trait. Whether you're driving a metallic that shimmers like a Vegas marquee or a "Deep Void" that absorbs all light, Cadillac ensured you won't see your twin at every stoplight.

What to Watch For

Before you start dabbling with that touch-up brush, we need to find your "Service Parts Identification" label. It's a bit of a scavenger hunt: check the driver-side door jamb first. If you see a QR code there instead of a clear paint code, don't panic-you can scan it with your phone to find the code (usually starting with a "WA" or "U") buried in the text. As for the paint itself, CT5 owners often notice the finish is a bit sensitive. Keep a close eye on your hood, mirrors, and the flared areas of the rear doors; these spots tend to catch road gravel like a catcher's mitt. Catching these chips early is the secret to keeping that factory shine.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since so many of these Cadillac shades-like Abalone White or Glory Red-are pearls or tricoats, they have a lot of "flop" (that's the fancy way of saying they change color in the sun). To get a great match, shake your touch-up bottle for at least two full minutes-long after your arm gets tired-to wake up those metallic flakes. When applying, think "thin and patient." If you have a deep chip, don't try to fill the whole crater in one go. Drip a tiny amount of paint onto the tip of a toothpick and let it settle. These complex colors require patience to build up the depth, but taking it slow will keep your driveway repair looking like a professional secret.
