Retailers to order the necessary paint materials required for proper field repairs. The list of colors indicates the suppliers' ordering codes for exterior and interior colors.
All Saturn vehicles are built at the Spring Hill, Tennessee manufacturing facility and painted with a base coat/clearcoat paint process. Paint manufacturers such as PPG, DuPont, R - M/Glasurit, Sherwin Williams-Martin Senour-Acme and AK.ZO/Sikkens 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 on page 4 of this bulletin should be available from local paint suppliers.
The Service Parts Identification (SPID) label illustrated in the Figure on page 3 is located on the spare tire cover. This label contains the paint codes needed to identify the paint materials for field repairs. This label identifies the paint code along with the WA# for that paint code. It is 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.

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.
