Where to find Chevrolet color code

How to Find Your Chevrolet's Color Code

Chevrolet did not make it easy to find the color code. Over the years they used many different locations and did not standardize the color plate, so it can be hard to locate. Usually it is in the glove box or the spare tire well; otherwise, the search may extend everywhere. The typical code is 51/WA316N, usually preceded by BC/CC. Two tone codes can appear as BC/CC U316N or BC/CC L316N (U for Upper, L for Lower).

Your Paint Color Profile

Dove Silver Metallic

The Look

Your Aveo has likely spent the last two decades as a reliable commuter, and this silver was its most practical suit. It is a clean, neutral shade that lacks the heavy blue or gold tints found in more modern luxury palettes. This color was popular for a reason: it hides road grime and light scratches better than almost any other finish from that era. Because your car has been on the road since the mid-2000s, the original paint has likely shifted slightly due to sun exposure. Your goal is to provide protection and a clean match that bridges the gap between the new pigment and the weathered factory finish.

Technical Details

This is a true metallic finish, which means the paint is packed with tiny aluminum flakes that provide its characteristic shimmer. These flakes are heavy and tend to settle at the bottom of the container quickly. If they are not suspended in the mix, the repair will look like a flat, dark gray instead of a bright silver. Metallics are also prone to mottling, which happens when the flakes clump together to create dark spots or tiger stripes. Before you spray or dab Chevrolet Dove Silver Metallic (check for code 95U/WA248L), you need to shake it for at least 60 seconds. This ensures the metallic particles are distributed so they reflect light correctly once dry.

Best Practices

You can find the paint code on the white Service Parts Identification sticker located inside your glove box. When you are ready to begin, move the car into the shade or a cool garage to ensure the metal surface is not hot to the touch. Always test the color on the included card to see how the metallic flakes lay down before you apply it to the car. Whether you are using a pen or a nozzle, keep the container moving to prevent the paint from puddling. Apply thin layers and give the paint plenty of drying time between applications. This patience allows the silver flakes to set in place rather than "swimming" in a thick, wet coat, which helps you avoid a blotchy final look.

Will absolutely order from this company again.

After ordering touch-up paint from Lexus I was still waiting for it a month later. If they'd told me upfront it would take that long I wouldn't have ordered in the first place. Paint Scratch was recommended by a friend who restores cars. Easy ordering, fair price and fast shipping. The color match is great especially considering my car is a 2012. Will absolutely order from this company again. Reason I chose this business: Lexus collision repair and a local collision repair. Will use paint less dent removal and touch up chipped paint myself. Reason I chose this product: Spouse sideswiped passenger side of car while backing out of garage. Mostly plastic transfer from his wheel well trim but pressure creased and cracked the paint causing a bare strip 1/8 wide x 4” long below door handle. Scratches on door handle and a few small chips on both doors.

Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans

Used Paint Scratch metallic custom mixed spray cans paint on a hood panel with excellent coverage and texture over the surface. Metallic paint can be very unforgiving out of a spray can, sputtering pigmentation dots on the panel being sprayed and thus ruining the paint job. No such issues with Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint spray cans. Paint sprayed strong and evenly till the last drop of paint in the can. Shipping time was faster than expected. Reason I chose this business: Having tried other brands of custom mixed metallic paint with terrible results, sputtering pigmentation tint dots from the spray nozzle in spite of vigorously shaking of can prior to application and loss of propellant rendering the lower fifth of the can's paint useless, Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint sprays out beautifully and strong all the way to the last gram of paint in the can. Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans for automotive restoration. Thank you Paint Scratch.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find my vehicle’s paint code?

Your paint code is usually found in the driver’s door jamb, trunk, or under the hood. See our Chevrolet Paint Code Guide for detailed instructions.

Will this paint match my car?

Yes. If your Chevrolet's color code is '95U/WA248L', your paint is custom-mixed to factory specs and backed by our Color Match Guarantee. If the paint does not match your Chevrolet, we will send you a replacement or refund.

Do I need primer and clearcoat?

While primer is recommended on bare metal or plastic, clearcoat is essential: it protects the basecoat and restores factory gloss.

How long does shipping take?

Orders are mixed fresh and ship within 3–5 business days. Delivery takes 2–14 days depending on location.

Which touch up product should I choose?

 It depends on the size of the damage:

  • Paint Pen (½ oz) – Best for very small chips and fine scratches.
  • Brush Bottle (2 oz) – Great for medium chips or scratches up to the size of a quarter.
  • Spray Can – Ideal for larger areas and panels.
  • Professional Sizes (Pint, Quart, Gallon) – Designed for full panel and vehicle resprays using spray equipment.

Not sure? If it’s just rock chips or small scratches, start with a Paint Pen.

Can I return my order?

Yes! If there’s a color match issue, we’ll replace the product or give you your money back. You also can return unopened, non-custom accessories for a full refund.

How long will the paint last in storage?

Paint pens and bottles last about a year if stored cool and dry. Spray cans can last several years if the nozzle is cleaned.
