Cadillac XT4 Touch Up Paint (57 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Cadillac didn't just release a car with the XT4; they released a 57-shade mood board. They really went for it with the naming department, giving us everything from the painfully honest Some Kind of Blue Metallic to the cheeky Black Meet Kettle Pearl. Whether you're driving the vibrant Cherry Pop Tricoat or the sophisticated Darkmoon Blue, your Cadillac has a finish that's trying a lot harder than the average commuter car. It's a premium look that deserves a little driveway TLC.

What to Watch For

Before you start dabbing paint, you need to find your "Service Parts Identification" sticker. On the XT4, this is usually hiding in the glove box or on the driver-side door jamb. Look for a code starting with "WA" or "U" (like WA8555).

As for the "Reality Check," XT4 owners often report that the clear coat can be a bit sensitive on the leading edge of the hood and the side mirrors-these spots are rock-chip magnets. You might also notice some light scuffing or "hazing" in these high-impact areas. The paint isn't failing; it's just taking the brunt of the road for you. The good news? These small chips are exactly what a touch-up bottle was born to fix.

Driveway Repair Tip

Because so many XT4 colors are "Tricoats" or "Pearls" (looking at you, Abalone White and Radiant Red), your touch-up kit might come with two separate bottles-a base color and a mid-coat. Don't panic! This just means you need to be a "layering legend."

Shake your bottle for a full 60 seconds to wake up those metallic flakes-if you don't, the color will look flat. When applying, think "less is more." Use the tip of a toothpick or the very edge of the brush to place a tiny drop inside the chip. If it's a Tricoat, let the first color dry completely before adding the second. This requires a little more patience than a standard black, but it's the secret to making that pearl finish pop in the sunlight again.
