Oldsmobile Aurora Touch Up Paint (44 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Oldsmobile didn't hold back when they launched the Aurora; they recorded a staggering 44 colors for this flagship. It was the 90s, and GM was feeling adventurous, giving us everything from the sophisticated Galaxy Silver Metallic to the "look at me" Majestic Teal Metallic and the desert-sunset vibes of Gold Fire Mist Metallic. They really went for it, creating a palette that matched the car's "space-age luxury" mission. Whether you have a deep metallic or a flashy pearl, your Aurora was designed to stand out in a parking lot full of beige sedans.

What to Watch For

If you're seeing the paint on your hood or roof start to look like a sunburnt tourist, you're not alone. The Aurora was built during a transitional era for GM's paint shops, meaning the clear coat can sometimes decide to part ways with the color underneath (a little something we call delamination). You might also see "crow's feet"-tiny little cracks-on the flat surfaces where the sun hits hardest. To find your specific color match, you'll need to go on a quick scavenger hunt: check the underside of the trunk lid or lift the spare tire cover. Look for a "Service Parts Identification" sticker with a code that starts with "WA" or "U."

Driveway Repair Tip

Because so many Aurora colors are heavy on the metallic flakes and pearls, the "shake it till your arm hurts" rule is in full effect here. Shake your touch-up bottle for at least 60 seconds to wake up those settled sparkles. When applying, avoid the temptation to fill a chip with one big glob. Instead, dab on a very thin layer, let it dry for fifteen minutes, and then add another. If you're working with the White Diamond Pearl, remember that it's a multi-stage look; it requires patience to build up the depth, so take your time and keep your layers paper-thin to get that factory glow back.
