What tools do I need for a Buick touch up paint job?

buick Touch Up Paint Tools including Polishing compound, sand paper, clearcoat, basecoat, primer and wax and grease remover wipe

To create the best looking coat for your vehicle, we recommend the following:

PRIMER, COLOR, AND CLEARCOAT - It goes without saying that you need paint to do a touch up paint job. Clearcoat provides a thin protective layer for your paint job while Primer is required for damage that has reached the original base material.

WAX AND GREASE REMOVER CLOTH - The wax and grease remover cloth is used to remove wax, grease, and contaminants before painting.

SANDPAPER - Wet-sanding the affected area removes rust and prepares the surface with a rough finish so the paint can stick better.

POLISHING COMPOUND - The polishing compound smooths everything out with a factory-grade finish.

These tools are all available with our Platinum kit but can be purchased separately on the TouchUpDirect website.

What is Buick Color Code?

To find the Buick color code, check the following:

  1. Trunk deck lid
  2. Spare tire cover/well
  3. Right wheel house
  4. Glove compartment

Buick color codes typically start with "WA" or a letter followed by four numbers (e.g., WA-U8555, L8555). For two-tone models, "U" represents the upper body color, and "L" represents the lower body or bumper color.
