Chevrolet Traverse Blue Metallic (82/WA564Q) Touch Up Paint

The Look

Your Equinox has likely spent over a decade facing the sun, and this specific shade of blue was a quiet hero during its short two-year run. It is a deep, professional blue that avoids the flashy brightness of modern crossovers, offering a grounded look that hides road grime surprisingly well. Because this color was only active for a brief window, it gives your vehicle a slightly more distinct personality than the standard silvers of that era. Just remember that after years on the road, your original finish may have shifted slightly, so focus on blending rather than just filling.

Technical Details

This is a true metallic finish, which means the "magic" is in the flake. Those tiny metallic particles provide the depth you see in the sun, but they can be temperamental. If the paint is applied too heavily in one spot, the flakes tend to sink or bunch up, creating dark, blotchy patches. To keep the finish looking uniform, you must be steady. Keep the container moving at a consistent speed so the flakes lay flat and reflect light evenly across the repair area.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Chevrolet Traverse Blue Metallic (check for code 82/WA564Q), you need to shake it for 60 seconds to fully suspend the metallic particles. You can verify your code on the Service Parts Identification sticker, which is almost always located inside your glove box. Test the color on the included card first to get a feel for the flow and to check the flake density. Work in your garage or a well-ventilated patch of shade to prevent the surface from getting too hot. Apply several thin layers rather than one thick one, allowing for plenty of drying time between each pass to ensure the paint bonds correctly and stays level.
