GMC Bright Silver Sparkle Effect (Wheel) (9967) Touch Up Paint

The Look

This finish was the standard-bearer for GMC's wheel design during the late 2000s, giving a crisp, high-end appearance to the wheels of the Acadia, Canyon, Denali, and Envoy. It is a bright, high-contrast silver designed to mimic the look of freshly machined alloy. Since your vehicle has likely faced years of road salt and brake dust, this color is exactly what you need to bring back that sharp, factory-fresh pop that once defined the profile of your truck or SUV.

Technical Details

This is a heavy metallic finish, which means it is packed with tiny silver flakes that create its signature sparkle. The biggest challenge with a metallic this bright is mottling-the tendency for the flakes to bunch up into dark splotches or uneven "tiger stripes." If you apply the paint too heavily in one spot, the flakes won't lay flat, and the color will look darker than the original finish. Thin, even layers are the secret to keeping the sparkle uniform across the entire wheel surface.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab GMC Bright Silver Sparkle Effect (Wheel) (check for code 9967), you need to shake the container for at least two full minutes. The metallic flakes in this silver are heavy and settle quickly, so thorough mixing is the only way to get an accurate match. You can usually find your paint code on the silver Service Parts Identification sticker located inside your glove box or on the driver-side door jamb. Always test the color on the included card before touching your wheels to ensure the shade is right. When applying, keep the container moving at all times to avoid puddles. Allow for plenty of drying time between coats, and remember that this base color will require a clear topcoat to achieve the correct gloss and protect the flakes from the elements.
