GMC Rush Metallic (WA618G/G6M) Touch Up Paint

The Look

This color is a shape-shifter that gives your Yukon a heavy, sophisticated presence on the road. It sits in that premium space where deep charcoal meets a midnight sky. Depending on the light in your driveway or the local parking lot, the finish oscillates between a near-black shadow and a rich, multi-dimensional gray. Because your vehicle is from the 2022 run, you are carrying one of the more complex modern finishes GMC has put into production. It is a high-maintenance look that rewards you by hiding road grime better than a flat black, but it requires a careful touch to maintain that deep, liquid glow.

Technical Details

This is a true metallic finish, which means the paint is packed with tiny flakes designed to catch the light. The risk with a dark metallic like this is mottling-essentially, the metal flakes can clump together and create dark streaks or "tiger stripes" if they aren't distributed evenly. If the flakes don't lay flat, the touched-up spot will look like a different shade of gray entirely when the sun hits it. Consistency is your best friend here. You want the flakes to float evenly in the paint film rather than sinking to the bottom or piling up in a heap.

Best Practices

You can find your paint information on the silver Service Parts Identification sticker, typically located inside the glove box or on the driver's side door jamb. Before you spray or dab GMC Rush Metallic (check for code WA618G/G6M), you need to shake it for at least 60 seconds to wake up those settled metallic particles. Always test the color on the included card to verify the flake density before touching the vehicle. Whether you are using a nozzle or a brush, keep the container moving to ensure the metallic bits spread out uniformly. Work in a cool garage or the shade, and give the paint plenty of drying time between light layers to prevent the finish from becoming muddy or textured.
