Cadillac Deville Paint Info
### The Color Breakdown
Cadillac didn't just paint the Deville; they dressed it for a gala. We've recorded 13 distinct colors for this legend, and they really went for it. You've got everything from the iconic Mary Kay Pink Pearl Tricoat (for those who've earned their stripes) to the sophisticated Blue Ice Metallic and the earthy Antique Bronze Metallic. Whether you're rocking the Green Jewel Frost or a classic White Gold, these colors were designed to catch the sun while you cruised the boulevard.
What to Watch For
Before you start dabbing that paint, we need to find your "Service Parts Identification" label. On a Deville, this is usually a little white or silver sticker hiding underneath the trunk lid or tucked away on the spare tire cover. Look for a code starting with "WA" or "U"-that's your golden ticket. As for the paint itself, these big beauties are known for clear coat "lifting" on the hood and trunk, and you might notice the paint likes to bubble or chip around the door handles. If you see those white, flaky edges, don't worry-it's just the car's way of asking for a little TLC.
Driveway Repair Tip
Since so many Deville colors-like the Red Pearl and Glacier Gold-are Tricoats or heavy Metallics, they have a lot of "flop" (that's paint-speak for how the sparkles settle). To get a great match, shake your touch-up bottle for a full 60 seconds to wake up those heavy metallic flakes at the bottom. When applying, think "thin and patient." Instead of one big glob to fill a chip, dab on three or four whisper-thin layers, letting each one dry for 15 minutes. It's the difference between a professional-looking fix and a "lunchroom accident" look.
