Cadillac encourages the use of refinish materials that match the paint technologies and suppliers in our plants. However, other suppliers produce service paint which could perform satisfactorily for field repairs. Your local paint supplier can provide additional information.

The Service Parts Identification (SPID) label is located on the inside of the rear compartment area. 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

Depending on your body shop location, certain low VOC compliant materials may need to be substituted for the materials listed in this bulletin. Please check your local laws and regulations to determine the ability of the material to comply.

I. PLASTIC PARTS IDENTIFICATION

General Motors bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, not a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform those technicians of conditions that may occur on some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper service of a vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools, safety instructions and know-how to do a job properly and safely. If a condition is described, do not assume that the bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your vehicle will have that condition. See a General Motors dealer servicing your brand of General Motors vehicle for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the information.
