Cadillac CT6 Paint Info
The Color Breakdown
Cadillac didn't just paint the CT6; they gave it a personality crisis in the best way possible. With 77 recorded colors, they moved seamlessly from the "strictly business" Son Of A Gun Gray Metallic to the surprisingly cheeky You Drive Me Grazy Pearl and Black Meet Kettle Pearl. Whether your car is dressed in the sophisticated Abalone White Tricoat or the bold Edible Berries Metallic, it's clear the designers had a little fun in the lab. They really went for it with names like Limited Addiction and Green With Envy, proving that even a flagship luxury sedan can have a sense of humor.
What to Watch For
Before you start dabbing, you need to find your "WA" paint code. On the CT6, Cadillac likes to keep things tidy-check the trunk first. Lift the floor mat and look near the spare tire well or under the trunk lid for a silver or white "Service Parts Identification" sticker. You're looking for a code that starts with "WA" followed by four digits.
In terms of wear, that long, elegant hood is a magnet for road debris. Keep a close eye on the front bumper and the leading edge of the hood; the clear coat is beautiful, but it can be a bit sensitive to rock chips. Some owners of earlier models have also noted the clear coat can get a little "cloudy" if left in the baking sun too long, so catching those small nicks early is the best way to keep that showroom shine from failing.
Driveway Repair Tip
If you're working with one of those high-end pearls like Cherry Pop Tricoat or Abalone White, remember that these are multi-stage masterpieces. This means your repair requires patience. Since these colors rely on tiny metallic flakes and "pearl" pigments to catch the light, you need to shake your touch-up bottle for at least 60 seconds longer than you think is necessary. This wakes up the "sparkle" that settled at the bottom. Apply the paint in very thin, whisper-light layers rather than one big "blob." If you're filling a chip on a metallic finish, building it up slowly ensures the flakes lay down flat and look like the factory intended, rather than a dark smudge.
