1999 Oldsmobile Touch Up Paint (62 OEM Colors)

The 1999 Oldsmobile Vibe

1999 was the year Oldsmobile tried to convince us they weren't just "your father's car" anymore. Between the space-age curves of the Aurora and the sporty aspirations of the Alero and Intrigue, the brand was leaning hard into the turn of the millennium. The palette was a sea of "Futuristic" metallics-shimmering golds, champagne beiges, and the ever-present silvers. While we've focused on the survivors like Sparkle Silver Metallic, this was the era where every Bravada and 88 Royale looked like it was trying to out-shine the Y2K bug.

Paint Health Check

Welcome to the peak of the Peeling Era. By 1999, Oldsmobile was using a standard basecoat/clearcoat system, but the factory clear coats from this period have a nasty habit of "delaminating." You've seen it on the highway: an Intrigue or Silhouette with a roof that looks like it's suffering from a permanent sunburn. Once that clear coat starts to lift and flake away from the base color, the clock starts ticking. The thin color layer underneath has zero UV protection once the clear is gone, meaning it'll turn chalky and disappear faster than the Oldsmobile brand itself.

Restoration Tip

If you're touching up a survivor, you have to seal your work immediately. In this era of paint, a chip isn't just a cosmetic blemish; it's an entry point for moisture to get under the clear coat and start the peeling process. Whether you're fixing a door ding on an Alero or refreshing your wheels with Sparkle Silver Metallic, always finish with a high-quality clear coat. Dab the color, let it dry, and then cap it with clear to "lock down" the edges of the factory finish. If you don't seal it, the surrounding clear coat will eventually lift, and you'll be chasing a peeling edge across the entire hood.
