Saturn LS2 Paint Info
The Color Breakdown
The Saturn LS2 was a car that didn't just want to take you to the office; it wanted to do it with a bit of personality. We've tracked 10 distinct colors for this model, and Saturn really leaned into the "Metallic" and "Pearl" vibes of the early 2000s. From the moody Blackberry Metallic and Dark Red Pearl to the almost-ethereal Blue Silver Pri Metallic, they gave us a palette that was surprisingly sophisticated for a car often nicknamed "the plastic sedan." Whether you're driving a Cream White classic or a shimmering Medium Gold Metallic, these colors were designed to catch the light.
What to Watch For
Here's the thing about the LS2: it's a bit of a "hybrid" when it comes to materials. You've got a steel hood and trunk, but those famous polymer (plastic) door panels. Over time, the paint on the metal parts likes to lose its grip, often showing clear coat peeling or "whitening" on the hood and roof. On the plastic panels, the paint can occasionally flake if it's been bumped. To find your exact color match, don't look on the door jamb first-head straight for the trunk. Lift up the spare tire cover; you're looking for a white "Service Parts Identification" sticker. Your code will usually start with "WA" followed by a four-digit string of numbers and letters.
Driveway Repair Tip
Since so many LS2 colors are "Pri Metallics" or "Pearls," the secret to a great repair is all in the wrist. Those tiny metallic flakes like to settle at the bottom of your touch-up bottle or can. Shake that bottle for at least 60 seconds-and I mean a real workout-to wake up those sparkles. When you're using the brush, remember: thin is king. Instead of one giant glob to fill a chip, dab on a tiny, paper-thin layer, let it dry for 15 minutes, and then add another. This requires patience, but it's the only way to get those metallic flakes to lay down flat and catch the sun just right.
