Oldsmobile Achieva Touch Up Paint (17 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Oldsmobile didn't hold back with the Achieva, recording a total of 17 colors that ranged from safely suburban to surprisingly bold. While you have your standard Galaxy Silver Metallic and Bright White, they really leaned into the botanicals, offering a forest's worth of greens like Manta Green Metallic and Medium Malachite Metallic. If you're rocking the Aubergine Metallic, congratulations-you're driving a car named after an eggplant, and that takes a special kind of 90s confidence.

What to Watch For

The Achieva hails from an era where GM paint occasionally decided it wanted to be free. This generation is known for the "sunburn" effect-where the clear coat begins to peel away from the color underneath, especially on horizontal surfaces like the hood and roof. To catch this early, check the edges of your door handles and the tops of the fenders for any cloudy spots. To find your specific match, skip the door jam and head straight for the glove box. Look for the "Service Parts Identification" sticker. If it's not there, check the underside of the trunk lid. You're looking for a code that starts with "WA" or "U."

Driveway Repair Tip

Since almost all of the Achieva's best colors-from Opal Blue to Galaxy Silver-are metallics, those tiny silver flakes love to settle at the bottom of the bottle. Shake your touch-up pen or bottle for a full two minutes-long after your arm gets tired-to wake up those sparkles. When you're ready to apply, remember that patience is your best tool. Metallic paints require patience to lay flat; apply three paper-thin layers rather than one big, thick drop. This prevents the color from looking "heavy" or dark and keeps those 90s vibes looking factory-fresh.
