Pontiac Lemans Touch Up Paint (23 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

The Pontiac LeMans hit the scene with 23 recorded colors, and it's a list that perfectly captures the "business in the front, party in the back" vibe of its era. They really went for it with some of these names-you've got your boardroom-ready grays like Medium Gray Metallic and Astro Silver, but then the weekend comes out to play with Polynesian Green and Light Teal Metallic. Whether yours is a subtle silver or a vibrant 90s teal, that color was meant to make a statement, even if that statement was just, "I'm ready for the carpool lane."

What to Watch For

The reality is that while the LeMans has spirit, its clear coat can be a bit sensitive. Like many cars from this vintage, the paint-especially the Bright Red and the darker metallics-is prone to "sunburn" (fading) and peeling clear coat on the hood and roof. If you see those white, flaky edges starting to lift, don't panic; just catch them early. To make sure you've got the exact right match before you start, pop open the trunk and lift the floor panel. You'll find your paint code on the Service Parts Identification sticker right on the spare tire cover. It'll usually be a four-digit code, sometimes starting with "WA."

Driveway Repair Tip

Since so many LeMans colors are metallics (like that Steel Blue or Flame Red), your touch-up bottle is basically a tiny snow globe filled with metallic flakes. These flakes love to settle at the bottom, so shake that bottle for a full two minutes-even when you think you're done, give it another thirty seconds. When applying, think "less is more." Use the tip of your brush to dab the paint into the center of the chip and let it flow to the edges. It's better to do two paper-thin layers than one thick glob that looks like a grape stuck to your door. With a little patience, you'll have those chips disappearing faster than a LeMans in a rear-view mirror.
