Saturn Wagon Touch Up Paint (19 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Saturn really leaned into the "lifestyle" vibe with their palette, recording 19 distinct colors for the Wagon. They didn't just give you "Red" or "Blue"-they gave you a menu that sounds more like a high-end farmers' market. We're talking about Blackberry Metallic, Dark Plum Metallic, and the surprisingly optimistic Light Copper Metallic. Whether you're driving a Dark Blue Pearl or a Grey Bronze, Saturn clearly decided that just because you were driving a practical wagon didn't mean you couldn't do it with a bit of "look-at-me" flair. They really went for it with the metallics, giving these "plastic-tastic" cruisers a deep, shimmering finish that was quite the flex back in the day.

What to Watch For

Now, here is the reality of the "Tupperware" car: while those polymer side panels are legendary for surviving rogue shopping carts without a dent, the paint itself can be a little less stubborn. You might notice the clear coat starting to lift or "flake" on the hood or that long wagon roof-it's a common Saturn trait where the paint decides it wants a divorce from the panel. Before you start, you'll need your "DNA" code. Don't look in the usual spots; for the Wagon, the paint code is usually hiding in the "basement." Pop the hatch and check the spare tire cover or the floor of the spare tire well. Look for a white Service Parts Identification sticker-you're looking for a code starting with a "U" or "WA" (like U8554).

Driveway Repair Tip

Since so many of these colors-like Dark Blue Pri or Silver Metallic-are packed with tiny metallic flakes, your biggest challenge isn't the color, it's the gravity. If you're using a touch-up pen or brush, those little sparkles like to settle at the bottom of the bottle. Shake that paint for a full 60 seconds (set a timer, your arm should be tired) to wake up the metallic bits. When applying, remember that these plastic panels expand and contract in the sun more than metal does. Applying three "thin-as-a-whisper" coats is the way to go; if you put on one big, thick blob, it won't have the flexibility to move with the car and might pop off later. Achieving a seamless look with these deep pearls requires patience, but it's totally doable in a Saturday afternoon.
