Chevrolet Space Blue Metallic (WA819T/GLF) Touch Up Paint

The Look

This shade isn't your average rental car blue. It has a deep, oceanic quality that looks authoritative on the broad panels of a Suburban or Tahoe, giving those large SUVs a more refined presence than a standard flat black. On a smaller car like your Cruze or Aveo, it adds a layer of sophistication that makes the vehicle feel more premium. When the sun hits the surface, the heavy silver flakes wake up and turn the finish from a quiet navy into an energetic sapphire. Since your Chevrolet has likely spent several years on the road, you might notice the original paint has a slight haze, but this color has enough depth to blend into aged panels without looking out of place.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, which means you are managing a mix of blue pigment and tiny silver flakes. These flakes are heavier than the liquid paint and will naturally sink to the bottom of the container while it sits on a shelf. If they aren't distributed perfectly, the color will appear too dark or "muddy" when you apply it. Metallics also carry a risk of mottling-where the flakes clump together to create dark spots or stripes. To avoid this, the paint needs to flow evenly so the metal bits can lay flat and catch the light in a uniform way across the repair.

Best Practices

First, find your Service Parts Identification sticker to confirm the match. On a Tahoe or Suburban, this is almost always inside the glove box, while Cruze owners should look under the trunk floor mat near the spare tire. Before you spray or dab Chevrolet Space Blue Metallic (check for code WA819T/GLF), you need to shake the container for a full minute to get those metallic flakes into the mix. Always test the color on the included card to ensure the flake density looks right. When you begin, work in your garage or the shade to keep the surface cool. Keep the container moving in steady, overlapping passes rather than focusing on one spot. It is better to apply two thin layers than one heavy one, as this prevents the paint from sagging and ensures the metallic finish stays consistent. Give the repair plenty of drying time before you think about adding a clearcoat.
