Cadillac CTS-V Touch Up Paint (22 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

The Cadillac CTS-V didn't just come to play on the track; it came to look good in the winner's circle. With 22 recorded colors, Cadillac really gave us the full spectrum. We saw everything from the boardroom-ready Dark Ming Blue Metallic to the "look at me" energy of Arrival Blue Metallic. They even flirted with some unique personality in the Antique Bronze Metallic. Whether yours is a stealthy Dark Spiral Gray or the sparkling White Diamond Tri-coat, this car was built to make a statement-even if that statement is currently being interrupted by a few rock chips.

What to Watch For

Because the CTS-V is essentially a Corvette in a tuxedo, it tends to collect "speed souvenirs"-those tiny rock chips on the front bumper and the hood from enjoying all that horsepower. Owners often notice the clear coat can be a bit sensitive, picking up light surface scratches easily, so treat it with kindness.

Before you start, you'll need your "ID card." On the CTS-V, your paint code is usually hiding in the trunk. Lift up the spare tire cover and look for a silver or white "Service Parts Identification" sticker. You're looking for a code that starts with "WA" or "U" (like WA8554). If you have a 2018 or newer model, check the driver's side door pillar for a QR code that you can scan with your phone to reveal the secret recipe.

Driveway Repair Tip

Many of these Cadillac colors, especially the White Diamond and the Effect shades, are packed with metallic flakes and pearls. These heavy sparkles like to settle at the bottom of the bottle while they sit on the shelf. To get a perfect match, shake your touch-up bottle for a full two minutes-long after you think you're done-to wake up those crystals.

When filling in those front bumper chips, don't try to fill the whole crater in one go. Think of it like icing a tiny cupcake: use a toothpick or the very tip of your brush to place one small drop in the center and let it spread itself out. Two thin layers will always look smoother than one big blob that stands out like a sore thumb. Patience is your best friend here!
