Saturn Ion Coupe Touch Up Paint (9 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Saturn may have been the "different kind of car company," but they certainly didn't hold back on the palette. With 9 recorded colors for the Ion Coupe, they really went for it-offering everything from the boardroom-ready Cashmere Metallic to the "look-at-me" neon punch of Fine Sublime Metallic. Whether you're rocking the deep Arrival Blue Metallic or the classic Victory Red, your Ion was designed to stand out in a parking lot full of beige.

What to Watch For

Before you start, you need to find your "Service Parts Identification" sticker to confirm your code (look for a sequence starting with "WA" or "U"). On the Ion Coupe, check the glove box lid first; if it's not there, head to the trunk and lift the spare tire cover-Saturn loved hiding it near the jack.

Keep an eye on those unique polymer (plastic) body panels. While they are great at resisting grocery cart dings, the paint can occasionally suffer from "sunburn"-that's where the clear coat starts to flake off like a bad beach tan. If you see a spot starting to peel on the roof or trunk, catch it early with your touch-up pen before it decides to migrate.

Driveway Repair Tip

Because colors like Bright Silver Metallic and Fine Sublime are packed with tiny metallic flakes, they require a little extra rhythm. Shake your touch-up bottle or pen for a full 60 seconds-longer than you think you need-to get those sparkles waking up and moving. When applying, think "thin and patient." It is much easier to add a second light layer after 20 minutes than it is to try and fix one giant, gloopy mountain of paint. Just dab, wait, and let the paint do the work.
