Chevrolet Medium Gray (WA130H) Touch Up Paint

The Look

Your Silverado or Traverse wears a shade that defines the modern Chevrolet aesthetic. This color sits right in the sweet spot between a bright silver and a heavy charcoal, providing a tech-forward appearance that makes a large truck or SUV look leaner. It is one of the more forgiving colors in the fleet because the mid-tone value hides road salt and dust with ease. Since your vehicle has been on the road for a season or two, you likely notice how the color maintains its depth even when it isn't freshly washed. It is a practical, professional choice for a daily driver that needs to look sharp without constant maintenance.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, which means the paint contains tiny flakes designed to reflect light. Metallic colors are notorious for looking different depending on how they are applied. If the paint is too thick in one spot, the flakes sink and the repair looks darker than the rest of the panel. If it is too thin, it looks like a translucent smudge. Before you spray or dab Chevrolet Medium Gray (check for code WA130H), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. This is the only way to ensure those metallic particles are evenly distributed so the color matches the factory shimmer on your door or fender.

Best Practices

You can usually find your paint code on the silver Service Parts Identification sticker located in the glove box or on the driver's side door jamb near the QR code. Once you have the code confirmed, focus on your preparation. Test the color on the included card to see how the metallic flakes settle before you touch the vehicle. When you begin the repair, apply the paint in thin, light layers. If you are using a spray can, keep the container moving at all times to avoid pooling. For deep chips, use several light coats rather than one heavy blob. Give each layer a few minutes of drying time to ensure the gray remains consistent across the repair.
