Pontiac Sunrunner Touch Up Paint (24 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

The Pontiac Sunrunner didn't just offer a way to get to the beach; it offered 24 different ways to look good doing it. While many cars of the '90s were stuck in a cycle of beige, Pontiac really went for it with this lineup. We're talking about gems like Super Grape III Metallic, California Gold Metallic, and the fan-favorite Scuba Blue Metallic. Whether you're rocking a classic White or the adventurous Wildfire Red, this little 4x4 was designed to stand out in a parking lot full of boring sedans.

What to Watch For

Since these adventurous little rigs spent most of their lives chasing the sun, their coats have taken a beating. The most common hurdle you'll face is "clear coat delamination"-that's a fancy way of saying the shiny top layer is starting to flake off like a bad sunburn, especially on the hood and the top of the door frames. Red shades are also notorious for fading into a matte pinkish hue if they haven't been waxed regularly.

Before you start, you need to find your "Service Parts Identification" sticker to get the right match. On a Sunrunner, this is usually hiding in the glove box or tucked away near the spare tire well. Look for a code starting with "WA" or "U" (like WA300C for that legendary Grape) to ensure you aren't just guessing at the shade.

Driveway Repair Tip

If you're using a touch-up pen on those metallic colors like Silver Sage or Sunset Red, your biggest secret weapon is the "Shake and Wait." Most of these colors are packed with tiny metallic flakes that love to sink to the bottom of the bottle. Shake that pen for a full two minutes-long enough for your arm to get tired-to wake up those sparkles.

When applying, remember that "thin is win." Instead of trying to fill a chip with one giant glob of paint, dab a tiny bit in, let it dry for 20 minutes, and then add another layer. This keeps the paint from sagging and helps those metallic flakes lay flat so they catch the light just right. If you're working on a faded red spot, keep your repair small and focused; it requires patience, but building up the color in thin layers will give you the cleanest look. Control the urge to "paint a circle" around the chip-just fill the hole and let the color do the work.
