GMC Ultra Silver Metallic (Wheel Color) (WA8867) Touch Up Paint

The Look

If you own a Sierra, Yukon, Canyon, or Savana from the last decade, you likely have this color on your wheels. It is the workhorse of the GMC lineup, designed to provide a clean, mechanical aesthetic that bridges the gap between rugged utility and high-end trim. Because your wheels live just inches from the pavement, they take the brunt of road salt and brake dust. This silver is exceptionally forgiving when it comes to hiding daily grime, but over time, curb rash or pitting can dull that factory sharp look. Restoring them brings back the visual "pop" that defines the GMC professional grade stance.

Technical Details

This is a true metallic finish, packed with fine aluminum flakes that give the silver its depth. Before you spray or dab GMC Ultra Silver Metallic (Wheel Color) (check for code WA8867), you need to understand how those flakes behave. If the paint is applied too heavily in one spot, the metallic particles will bunch up and create dark, muddy patches. If applied too lightly, the finish may look dry or textured. Since wheels have complex curves and recessed lug nut holes, you have to be mindful of how the light hits the surface to ensure the flakes lay down evenly across every spoke.

Best Practices

You can usually find your paint code on the Service Parts Identification sticker located inside your glove box, though on some newer models, it may be on the driver's door jamb. Metallic paints are notorious for settling, so shake your container for at least two full minutes to ensure the flakes are fully suspended in the resin. Before you touch your wheels, test the color on the included card to verify the match. When applying, keep the container moving in steady, overlapping passes and maintain a consistent spray distance to avoid clumping. Give the paint plenty of drying time between coats to prevent sagging, especially in the deep recesses of the wheel design.
