Chevrolet Nimbus (G7X) Touch Up Paint

The Look

Since your Bolt or Blazer represents the modern side of the lineup, this gray was designed to look more like a piece of high-end technology than a traditional car. It is a technical, mid-tone gray that feels clean and precise. While some grays can disappear into the pavement, this one has enough light-catching depth to highlight the sharp body lines and aerodynamic curves of the newer Chevrolet models. Because it is a medium shade, it does a decent job of hiding road salt and light dust, which makes it a practical choice for a daily driver that you actually intend to use.

Technical Details

This finish is a metallic, which means it is packed with tiny light-reflecting flakes that give the paint its characteristic depth. The biggest risk with a DIY repair on this specific color is mottling. If the metallic flakes are not distributed evenly, they can clump together and create dark, cloudy patches or visible stripes in your repair area. You want those flakes to lay flat and uniform so the light bounces off the patch at the same angle as the original factory finish. If the flakes are applied too heavily, the color will appear darker than the rest of the car.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Chevrolet Nimbus (check for code G7X), you need to shake it for 60 seconds to fully suspend those metallic particles. You can find your specific color code on the silver parts identification sticker or the QR code located on the driver's side door jamb. Test the color on the included card first to make sure the flake density looks right. When you are ready to work in your garage or a patch of shade, keep the container moving to avoid any heavy build-up in one spot. It is better to apply three thin layers than one thick one. Ensure you allow plenty of drying time between each pass to prevent the metallic flakes from shifting as the paint sets.
