Saturn LS Paint Info
The Color Breakdown
Saturn gave the LS a surprisingly sophisticated palette of 6 recorded colors, leaning heavily into that "early 2000s classy" vibe. With names like Dark Blue Pearl, Medium Gold Metallic, and the timeless Cream White, they really went for it. They weren't just making a commuter car; they were dressing it up in metallics and pearls to show the neighbors that Saturn owners have a little sparkle in their step.
What to Watch For
While Saturn's plastic body panels are legendary for surviving rogue shopping carts, the paint on top has a bit of a "sensitive soul." On the LS, keep an eye on the horizontal surfaces-the roof and the top of the trunk are where the clear coat tends to get shy and start peeling or fading after years in the sun. If you're hunting for your specific match, don't go searching the door jambs. Pop the trunk and look for the Service Parts sticker right on the spare tire cover. You are looking for a code that typically starts with "WA" or "U" followed by a four-digit string.
Driveway Repair Tip
Since most of the LS colors are pearls or metallics, your biggest hurdle is "flake management." Those tiny sparkles like to settle at the bottom of the bottle, so shake your touch-up pen for a full two minutes-treat it like a maraca. When you apply it to a chip, remember that light layers are your best friend. Instead of one big, thick blob that sits like a mountain on your hood, dab on a thin layer, let it dry, and come back for a second pass. It requires a little patience, but it keeps the color looking smooth and consistent.
