Cadillac LYRIQ Touch Up Paint (16 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Cadillac really leaned into the "future of luxury" vibe with the LYRIQ, giving us 16 distinct shades to play with. They range from the sophisticated Satin Steel Gray and Stellar Black to some genuinely adventurous choices like Nagini, Carragreen, and the electric Calypso Blue. They really went for it with the naming, too-because why settle for "Green" when you can have Emerald Lake? It's a palette that says, "I'm electric, but I still have a country club membership."

What to Watch For

Here's the honest truth from the driveway: Cadillac's modern clear coat is a bit like a sensitive soul-it's "soft." Owners have reported that the Stellar Black and other dark tones can pick up swirl marks if you even look at them wrong, and those gorgeous hoods are unfortunately magnets for stone chips and bug-related speckling. You might also notice some premature wear or tiny bubbles around the door edges. Before you start, hunt down your paint code; on the LYRIQ, it's usually hiding on a silver "Parts Identification" sticker. Check the driver's side door jamb or under the trunk floor cover near the charging cable storage. Look for a code starting with "WA" or "U" followed by four digits.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since the LYRIQ features a lot of high-end finishes like Abalone White Tricoat and Radiant Red, those bottles are packed with specialized pearls and metallics. To get a match that doesn't look like a thumbprint, shake your touch-up bottle for a full two minutes-longer than you think you need to-to wake up those sparkles. When applying, think "less is more." Use the tip of the applicator to dab a tiny amount into the center of the chip and let it flow to the edges. It's better to do two paper-thin layers than one big, proud blob that catches the light and tells the world where your mistake was.
