Pontiac GTO Touch Up Paint (15 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Pontiac gave us 15 recorded colors for this Aussie-born "Goat," and let's just say they really went for it. While most brands were playing it safe with silver, the GTO hit the streets in loud, proud shades like Yellow Devil, Cosmo Metallic (a purple that demands attention), and the fan-favorite Brazen Orange Metallic. Whether you're rocking Barbados Mica Metallic or the classic Red Hot Red, these cars were built to be seen, not to blend into the background of a grocery store parking lot.

What to Watch For

Because these cars were imported from Australia, they have a few "quirks" that differ from your average GM build. The GTO sits low to the ground, which makes the front hood and bumper a magnet for rock chips-if you've got a "speckled" nose, you aren't alone. Keep a close eye on the door handles and the rear spoiler, as the paint there has a reputation for being a bit "shy" and can start to bubble or peel away from the plastic. To find your exact match, skip the door jamb; you'll usually find the paint code on a silver tag located under the hood, mounted right on the radiator support. Look for a code starting with "WA" or a "U" followed by four digits, like WA687F.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since so many GTO colors are heavy on the metallics and pearls (we're looking at you, Quicksilver and Impulse Metallic), your biggest secret weapon is a timer. Shake that touch-up bottle for a full 60 seconds-longer than you think you need-to wake up those tiny metallic flakes that like to settle at the bottom. When you apply the paint, don't use long brush strokes. Instead, use the tip of your applicator to "dab" the paint into the center of the chip and let it flow to the edges. These shades require patience, so it's much better to do two thin "dots" of paint rather than one big, gloppy mountain that will take forever to dry.
