Chevrolet Cashmere Metallic (15/WA231M) Touch Up Paint

The Look

This color defines the mid-2000s era of General Motors design. It is a warm, champagne-gold that makes the Equinox look solid and gives the HHR a distinct retro flair. It is a practical choice because the earthy undertones mask road salt and dust far better than a standard silver or black. Since your car has been on the road for many years, the original finish might have shifted from the factory tone, but the depth of this metallic gold holds up under sunlight.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, meaning it is packed with tiny flakes that reflect light at different angles. The main challenge with a metallic like this is avoiding a finish that looks blotchy or uneven. If you apply the paint in thick layers, those flakes bunch up and create dark shadows. To keep the color uniform across the repair, you want those metallic particles to land in an even pattern and lay flat against the surface.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Chevrolet Cashmere Metallic (check for code 15/WA231M), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. You can find your specific paint code on the service parts identification sticker, which is found inside the glove box on these models. Once you have the container ready, test the color on the included card to confirm the shade matches your current paint. Whether you are using a nozzle or a pen, keep the container moving to prevent the metallic flakes from pooling. Apply thin layers and give the area enough drying time before you move on to the next coat.
