GMC Pow Zinga Metallic (WA327E/GLT) Touch Up Paint

The Look

Your Canyon was born to stand out, and this high-voltage blue is the reason why. While most trucks on the road settle for a quiet gray or a safe white, choosing this color means you appreciate a finish with energy. It is a loud, punchy blue that looks its best when the sun hits the metallic flake, giving the body lines of your GMC a sharp, electric edge. Because your truck has likely been out in the elements for a few seasons now, you might notice the original finish has a deep glow that makes smaller chips look like bright white scars against the blue backdrop.

Technical Details

This is a true metallic finish, which means the secret to a good repair is all in how those tiny silver flakes land. If you apply the paint too heavy in one spot, the metallic particles will sink and bunch up, creating a dark, muddy patch known as mottling. To avoid these stripes or "leopard spots," you need to focus on light, even coverage. Metallic paints like this are less about hiding the damage with one thick coat and more about building the color so the flakes can sit flat and reflect light the way the factory intended.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab GMC Pow Zinga Metallic (check for code WA327E/GLT), you need to shake it for at least 60 seconds to wake up those settled flakes. You can usually find your paint code on the silver service sticker located inside your glove box or on the driver's side door jamb. Once you are ready to work in your garage or a patch of shade, always test the color on the included card to ensure the shade matches your specific truck. When applying, keep the container moving to prevent the paint from pooling. After the final layer, give it a generous drying time before you even think about touching it or applying a clear coat.
