Chevrolet Light Cashmere (Interior) (WA830K) Touch Up Paint

The Look

This color was the "breath of fresh air" for GM cabins during the late 2000s, replacing the drab, dark plastics of the previous decade with something far more inviting. Whether it is highlighting the dashboard of your Equinox or the sculpted door panels of your Corvette, this shade makes the interior feel significantly larger and more upscale. Because your vehicle has likely been on the road for at least a decade, this light tone has probably suffered from the typical wear of daily life. It is a magnet for scuffs and oils, so you are likely seeing dark marks around the door handles or armrests where the factory finish has finally given up.

Technical Details

Unlike many flat interior tans, this is actually a metallic finish. It contains a very fine shimmer that gives the trim its depth and prevents it from looking like cheap, molded plastic. This subtle flake means you cannot simply dab a big blob of paint onto a scratch and expect it to disappear. If the flakes do not lay down evenly, the repair will look darker or lighter than the surrounding area depending on how the light hits it. This effect, often called mottling, is the biggest risk with this color, so you must be mindful of how the paint lands on the surface to maintain that factory-fresh glow.

Best Practices

You will find your specific paint information on the silver service sticker located inside your glove box. Before you spray or dab Chevrolet Light Cashmere (Interior) (check for code WA830K), you need to shake the container for at least 60 seconds to ensure those metallic flakes are fully suspended. Since interior surfaces are often covered in silicones from cleaning wipes or oils from your skin, the paint will not stick unless you scrub the area with a mild detergent first. Test the color on the included card to see how it matches your interior's current level of fading. When you are ready, keep the container moving to ensure the finish stays even and avoid heavy layers. Give the surface plenty of drying time in the shade or a garage before you touch it, as interior paints stay tacky longer than exterior ones.
