GMC Bright Argent Silver Metallic (Wheel Color) (WA6248) Touch Up Paint

The Look

This is the workhorse silver that defined a generation of GMC utility. Whether it is on the wheels of a rugged Envoy or the heavy-duty rims of a Savana, this color provides a clean, bright contrast that manages to hide road salt and grime better than almost any other finish. Since your Jimmy or Safari has likely spent years battling the elements, you will notice that this silver isn't just about shine; it is about restoring that crisp, factory-fresh boundary between the rubber and the rim. It is a practical, bright metallic that keeps a vehicle looking maintained even after a decade on the road.

Technical Details

This finish is a true metallic, which brings a specific set of challenges for any repair. The silver look comes from tiny flakes suspended in the paint. If these flakes are not distributed evenly, you will end up with mottling-dark, cloudy spots where the metal particles have clumped together. This happens most often when the paint is applied too heavily in one spot or if the container is not shaken enough. Without that even distribution, the paint will look like a flat, muddy gray rather than a bright silver.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab GMC Bright Argent Silver Metallic (Wheel Color) (check for code WA6248), you must shake the container for at least sixty seconds to get those heavy metallic flakes off the bottom. You can typically find your paint code on the silver or white Service Parts sticker located inside the glove box, though on some vans it might be on the door pillar. Always test the color on the included card to make sure the flake density matches your wheel. Work in your garage or in the shade to avoid direct sunlight, which can cause the paint to dry too fast and trap the flakes in an uneven pattern. Keep the container moving and apply light, even layers, allowing plenty of drying time between each pass so the silver settles correctly.
