Chevrolet Overcast Blue Metallic (WA402Y/G1C) Touch Up Paint

The Look

Your Silverado, Tahoe, or Suburban carries a color that doesn't scream for attention but definitely commands it. Overcast Blue Metallic is a moody, sophisticated shade that shifts between a deep grey and a slate blue depending on the sky. Since it was only on the production line for 2015 and 2016, your vehicle has a rare edge compared to the standard blacks and silvers that dominate the road. It looks just as at home on a muddy job site as it does in a clean driveway.

Technical Details

This finish relies on a metallic base, meaning there are tiny flakes suspended in the paint to catch the light. The risk here is mottling, which happens when those flakes clump together because the paint was applied too heavily. If you rush the process, you will see dark, cloudy streaks instead of a smooth, even reflection. To keep the finish looking factory-fresh, you need to rely on several very light layers rather than one heavy pass. This allows the metallic particles to lay flat and distribute evenly across the surface.

Best Practices

You will find your paint code on the silver Service Parts Identification sticker inside your glove box. Look for the "BC/CC" line at the bottom of that label. Before you spray or dab Chevrolet Overcast Blue Metallic (check for code WA402Y/G1C), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. This mixing is vital for getting those heavy metallic flakes off the bottom of the container. Always test the color on the included card to ensure the shade matches your specific panel before you move to the vehicle. Keep the container moving as you work to maintain a consistent flow from the nozzle or brush. Finally, work in the shade and allow plenty of drying time between each thin layer to prevent the paint from sagging.
