Pontiac Vibe Touch Up Paint (46 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Pontiac clearly didn't want the Vibe to blend into the background. They recorded a staggering 46 colors over the years, and they really went for it with the naming conventions. You might be driving anything from the moody Dark Ming Blue Pri Metallic to the vibrant Sublime Green Metallic or the fiery Orange Fusion Metallic. It's a surprisingly deep palette for a car often praised for its practicality-it seems they wanted to make sure your "sensible" hatchback still had plenty of personality.

What to Watch For

Here is the honest truth: the Vibe has a bit of a "sunburn" problem. Many owners have reported the clear coat-that shiny protective top layer-starting to cloud up or flake off, particularly on the hood, roof, and the top of the liftgate. If you notice small white edges around a stone chip, that's your cue to act before it starts "peeling" further. To get started, you need your code. Check the inside of your glove box for a "Service Parts Identification" sticker. If it's not there, remember that this car was a joint project with Toyota, so take a peek at the driver's door jamb as well. Look for a code that starts with "WA" or a simple 3-digit sequence.

Driveway Repair Tip

Because so many Vibe colors involve heavy metallics or "effect" pigments (like Shadow Gray Metallic), those tiny silver sparkles love to sink to the bottom of the bottle. Don't just give it a quick wiggle-shake your touch-up bottle or pen for at least 60 to 90 seconds to wake those flakes up. When you're ready to apply, resist the urge to glob it on. Use the "dotting" method: dab a tiny bit of paint into the center of the chip and let it spread itself out. It requires patience, but thin layers look much better than a single thick bump once they dry.
