Pontiac Solstice Touch Up Paint (41 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

The Pontiac Solstice didn't just arrive; it made a scene. Pontiac recorded a massive 41 colors for this roadster, and they clearly let the design team have some fun in the lab. From the head-turning Sunburst Orange II Effect and the electric Hydro Blue Metallic to the deep, moody Dark Spiral Gray Metallic, the Solstice was built for people who wanted to be seen. Whether your car is a "matte" finish experiment or a high-gloss "Effect" paint, one thing is certain: they really went for it.

What to Watch For

Because the Solstice sits so low to the ground, its nose is essentially a landing pad for every pebble on the highway. You're likely dealing with "road rash"-those tiny white pits on the hood and front bumper that look like a constellation you didn't ask for. To find your exact color match, don't go hunting under the hood; pop open the glove box. Look for a silver or white "Service Parts Identification" sticker. You're looking for a code that starts with "WA" or "U" (like WA9260). If it's not in the glove box, check the rear compartment near the spare tire well.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since so many Solstice colors are "Effect" or "Metallic" paints, the magic is in the mix. Those tiny metallic flakes are heavy and love to settle at the bottom of the bottle. Shake your touch-up pen or bottle for at least two full minutes-long after you think you're done-to wake up those sparkles. When filling those low-slung hood chips, don't try to fill the hole in one go. Dab a tiny amount in the center of the chip and let it flow to the edges. It's much better to apply three thin "whisker-thin" layers than one big glob that looks like a pimple.
