Locate Paint Code for Cadillac

The paint code for Cadillac is found typically under the trunk lid if you have a Cadillac Deville, Cadillac Seville or a Cadillac Eldorado.  It may also be in the right-side compartment of your trunk or on the spare tire cover or spare tire well for Cadillac Allante, Cimarron, CTS, Deville, DTS, Seville or STS.  For the Escalade proprietors, the color code is located in the glove box.  The color code starts with a letter (“U” for upper body or “L” for lower body) and a string of 4 numbers. The Cadillac paint color code can also be preceded by a “WA”.

The location(s) on the vehicle is shown below by the circle(s) highlighted in yellow and outlined in red.

Order our Touch Up Kits.

To create the best looking results for your vehicle, we include the following materials to help you achieve the best results in fixing your damage.  That’s so that you produce a professional looking job with the right tone and shine as intended for your specific paint code.

To help you, we sell kits that are designed to properly fix dings, scrapes and chips of varying sizes and depth.  So, depending on these parameters, our kits provide you with all the materials you need to repair your damage properly.

We also sell these kit materials individually, to save you money.  Just call us for help in locating what you have in mind.

PRIMER, COLOR, AND CLEARCOAT

Naturally, you need precisely mixed colored paint to do a touch up paint job.  But, you also need other materials.  Specifically, primer is required for damage that has reached the original base material.  Also, clearcoat is required to produce a thin protective layer for your paint job once dried.

WAX AND GREASE REMOVER CLOTH

Additionally, the wax and grease remover cloths remove wax, grease, and contaminants before painting.

SANDPAPER

Don’t forget that wet-sanding the affected area prior to painting removes rust and prepares the surface with a rough finish so the paint can stick better.

POLISHING COMPOUND

And finally, the polishing compound smooths everything out with to factory-grade finish.

Enjoy our Color Match Warranty.

To restore your Cadillac to its original factory finish, use our high quality touch up paints.  Central Alberta Paint & Supply (CAPS) mixes our paints with great precision and accuracy.  That is why we guarantee our paint code color matches.

Under our Color Match Warrantee program, we make sure that our color mix matches those specified in the manufacturer’s handbooks.  As long as there is no fade, no previous paint jobs on their vehicle’s paint, and the color code is correct, we can warranty our paint.  That means we’ll replace it free.
