Pontiac Pursuit Touch Up Paint (13 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

The Pontiac Pursuit-Canada's own exclusive little firecracker-didn't just come in "boring car grey." With 13 recorded colors, they really went for it. Whether you are driving the electric Sunburst Orange II Metallic, the surprisingly regal Majestic Amethyst Metallic, or the classic Victory Red, your Pursuit was designed to be seen. It's a specialized palette for a car that refused to just be a rebadged Cobalt.

What to Watch For

Now, while the Pursuit has a lot of heart, its clear coat can be a little sensitive. These cars are known for "sunburn"-that's when the clear coat starts to lift or peel on the roof and trunk. You'll also likely find some "road rash" chips on the front hood from years of highway commutes. To get the right fix, you need your secret code. Forget the door jamb; on a Pursuit, you'll usually find your paint code on a silver sticker hidden in the trunk, specifically under the carpet near the spare tire. Look for a code starting with "WA" or "U."

Driveway Repair Tip

Since many of these colors, like Laser Blue Metallic, are packed with tiny metallic flakes, they require a little extra patience. If you're using a touch-up bottle, shake it for a full two minutes-even when your arm starts to ache-to make sure those sparkles aren't all stuck at the bottom. When you apply the paint, don't try to fill the whole chip at once. Use the tip of the brush to "dab" a tiny bit of paint into the center and let it flow to the edges. Think of it like adding a drop of water to a leaf; thin, light layers will always look better than one big, gloopy mountain of paint.
