Pontiac Grand Am Touch Up Paint (52 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

The Pontiac Grand Am didn't just show up to the party; it showed up in a wardrobe that would make a peacock jealous. With 52 total colors recorded, Pontiac really went for it during the late 90s and early 2000s. We aren't just talking about your standard "Rental Car Silver." We're looking at bold, experimental shades like the vibrant Manta Green Metallic, the moody Aubergine Metallic, and the fiery Sunburst Orange II Metallic. Whether you're driving a classic Bright White cruiser or a Galaxy Silver Metallic daily driver, your Grand Am was designed to catch the light-and probably a few stares.

What to Watch For

Now, let's talk shop. If your Grand Am looks like it's starting to "peel" or has a cloudy white film on the hood or roof, don't take it personally-it's a classic case of what we call "GM Sunburn." During this era, the clear coat (that shiny protective top layer) tends to lose its grip on the color underneath. You'll also want to keep an eye on the leading edge of the hood and those plastic side mirrors, which are magnets for road chips. To find your exact match, skip the guesswork and head to the trunk. Look for the "Service Parts Identification" sticker on the spare tire cover or under the trunk lid. If it's not there, check the back of the glove box door. You're looking for a code starting with "WA" or "U" followed by four digits.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since so many Grand Am colors are heavy on the metallics (I'm looking at you, Silvermist and Redfire), your biggest secret weapon is a good workout. Before you touch that chip, shake your touch-up bottle or pen for a full 60 seconds-longer than you think you need to. Those tiny metallic flakes like to settle at the bottom, and you need them dancing in the paint to get that factory glow. When you apply it, think "thin and patient." It is much better to apply two or three paper-thin layers than one giant, gloppy bead. If you're using a brush, just dabbing the center of the chip and letting the paint flow to the edges will give you a much smoother finish than trying to "paint" it on.
