Hummer Fine Silver Birch Metallic (59/WA926L) Touch Up Paint

The Look

This isn't a cold, industrial silver. On a rugged frame like the H2 or the more compact H3, this color acts as a bridge between high-end luxury and trail-ready grit. Because it carries a subtle champagne undertone, it feels warmer than the standard grays seen on most modern trucks. It was one of the most popular choices for General Motors during the 2005-2009 era because it has a unique ability to look clean even when your vehicle is covered in a light layer of dust. Since your Hummer has been on the road for quite some time, you will notice how this shade handles the sun without losing its character.

Technical Details

This finish is a traditional metallic, which means it relies on microscopic flakes to catch the light. The biggest risk here is mottling, where the silver looks blotchy or striped because the flakes did not lay down flat. Since your vehicle has likely been on the road for over a decade, the existing finish may have weathered, making a careful application even more important. Silver is excellent at hiding small scratches, but if you apply the paint too heavy in one spot, the metallic density will shift and create a dark patch that stands out.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Hummer Fine Silver Birch Metallic (check for code 59/WA926L), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. You will find your paint code on the silver Service Parts Identification sticker located inside your glove box. To get the best result in your garage, always test the color on the included card to see how the flakes settle. When you begin the actual repair, keep the container moving at a steady speed to ensure the metallic flow remains even. Use thin layers and allow for plenty of drying time between each one to prevent the silver from sagging or bunching up.
