1991 MODEL PAINT INFORMATION
The listings of 1991 paint codes contained in this bulletin will enable retailers to order the necessary paint materials required for effective field repairs.
The list of colors indicates the suppliers' ordering codes for exterior and interior colors.
At this time, all Saturn vehicles are built at the Spring Hill, Tennessee manufacturing facility and painted with clearcoat enamel supplied by BASF.
Other manufacturers produce service paint which could perform satisfactorily for field repairs. Paint suppliers in your area can provide you with information regarding these materials.
The paint listed in this bulletin is available from local paint suppliers.
The Service Parts Identification (SPID) label illustrated in Figure 1 is located on the inside of the deck lid. This label contains the paint codes needed to identify the paint materials for field repairs. Note this label identifies the paint code along with the WA # for that paint code. It is equally important to use this WA # along with the paint code to identify the correct repair materials. Care should be taken to transfer the SPID label or its information if the panel to which the label is affixed requires replacement. Replacement SPID labels are not available.
All 1991 Saturn vehicles employ composite body panels on the vertical surfaces of the automobile. Included in this bulletin is a chart identifying each type of material and where it is used.
