Chevrolet Typhoon (GBW) Touch Up Paint

The Look

This color captures the heavy, restless energy of a storm front. It is a deep metallic that highlights the sharp, modern body lines on your Blazer or Camaro. Whether you are looking at it in the garage or out on the road, the shade has a depth that makes the vehicle look like it is in motion even when parked. Because it is a darker, more complex tone often found on the Traverse and Malibu, it tends to show road salt and dust soon. You will want to keep the surface clean to maintain that industrial glow.

Technical Details

This is a high-density metallic finish. The paint is packed with tiny flakes that need to be distributed well to look right. If the paint is applied in one heavy layer, those flakes will clump together and create dark, uneven streaks. This effect makes a repair look like a smudge rather than a finish. Because of this, you must focus on achieving a steady, even flow across the surface. This finish also relies on a clear coat to provide the final depth and protection.

Best Practices

Your identification sticker is usually a silver label located in the driver's side door jamb or tucked inside the glove box. Before you spray or dab Chevrolet Typhoon (check for code GBW), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. The metallic flakes are heavy and will settle at the bottom of the container, so thorough mixing is the only way to get a true match. Always test the color on the included card first to ensure the flake density matches your car. When you apply the paint, keep the container moving to prevent the material from pooling, and allow for plenty of drying time between your layers.
