2005 Chevrolet Touch Up Paint (107 OEM Colors)

The 2005 Chevrolet Vibe

Welcome to 2005-the year of the flip phone, the debut of the C6 Corvette, and the era where Chevrolet decided every driveway needed a massive Suburban or a retro-weird SSR. It was a peak time for the Bowtie brand, and our database proves it with a staggering 90 colors cataloged for this year alone. Whether you're trying to match the high-octane Velocity Yellow on a Vette, the sunset glow of Sunburst Orange Metallic on an Avalanche, or the "cool dad" Arrival Blue Metallic on a Silverado, we've got the DNA of 2005 locked in a bottle. It was a time of transition, where the rugged utility of the Blazer and Astro met the new-age curves of the Equinox and Cobalt.

Paint Health Check

If you're driving a 2005 Chevy today, you're likely staring at the sunset of what I call "The Peeling Era." By the mid-2000s, basecoat/clearcoat tech was standard, but the bond between the color and the clear wasn't always a happy marriage. You've probably seen it on Arctic White Express vans or Silver Birch Tahoes-the clear coat starts looking like a snake shedding its skin, especially on the hood and roof. This isn't just a fade; it's delamination. Once the sun gets under that top layer, the clear coat decides it's had enough and starts lifting in sheets, leaving your base color exposed and defenseless against the elements.

Restoration Tip

The secret to keeping a 2005 Chevy looking fresh is edge management. If you spot a small rock chip in your Dark Ming Blue or Victory Red, seal it immediately. If air and moisture get under the clear coat at the edge of a chip, it'll act like a lever, prying the rest of the finish off your panel. If you're already seeing some "sunburn" (peeling clear), don't just spray over it; you have to carefully sand and feather those edges down until you hit a spot where the clear is actually stuck to the car. Treat it like a wound-seal the perimeter, or the "peel" will keep marching right across your fender.
