Chevrolet Ashen Grey Metallic (WA810T/GLJ) Touch Up Paint

The Look

This is not your average rental car silver. This shade is a deep, moody charcoal that looks heavy and expensive. On the Camaro, it highlights the aggressive body lines with a shadow-heavy finish, while on the Equinox and Impala, it adds a level of sophistication that hides road grime surprisingly well. Because it sits right between a light silver and a true black, it acts as a perfect camouflage for daily wear and tear. Your car will look clean for days longer than a black one would, but it still maintains that muscular, dark presence on the road.

Technical Details

This finish is a true metallic, which means it contains thousands of tiny flakes designed to reflect light. While this makes the car glow under the sun, it presents a challenge for repairs. If these flakes do not land evenly, you will end up with mottling-those dark, cloudy spots or "stripes" that make a repair look obvious. These flakes have a natural tendency to clump together if you apply the paint too heavily in one spot. Since your vehicle has likely faced a few years of UV exposure, the original finish might be slightly lighter than what comes out of the container, making thin layers even more important for a proper blend.

Best Practices

You can find your paint code on the silver Service Parts Identification sticker, usually tucked inside the glove box or hidden under the trunk floor carpet. Before you spray or dab Chevrolet Ashen Grey Metallic (check for code WA810T/GLJ), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. This is the only way to ensure the metallic flakes are suspended properly instead of sitting at the bottom. Test the color on the included card to see how the flakes settle. When you move to the car, keep the container moving at all times to prevent the paint from pooling. Work in a garage or the shade to give the paint a consistent drying time between your light, even layers.
