2019 Chevrolet Touch Up Paint (107 OEM Colors)

The 2019 Chevrolet Vibe

By 2019, Chevrolet wasn't just building cars; they were conducting a masterclass in variety. Whether you were hauling drywall in a redesigned Silverado, silently humming past gas stations in a Bolt, or making questionable life choices in a Camaro, you had options. Our database tracks a staggering 107 colors for this year alone. It was the era of the "statement" color-think the eye-searing Shock Metallic, the citrus punch of Crush, or the sophisticated depth of Abalone White Tricoat. Chevrolet was clearly feeling bold, moving away from the "fifty shades of rental-car gray" and giving us finishes like Blue Me Away Pearl and Black Meet Kettle Pearl that actually had some soul.

Paint Health Check

Here's the rub: 2019 falls squarely into the Thin Paint Era. Back in the day, you could practically sand a car with a brick and still find paint underneath; today, we're dealing with "Robot Efficiency." To save weight and cost, factory clear coats have been dialed down to the absolute minimum-sometimes as thin as a couple of Post-it notes. While these high-solids finishes look incredible on the showroom floor, they are magnets for rock chips. If you're driving a 2019 Tahoe or Silverado, you've likely noticed the front clip looking like it's been hit with birdshot. Because the layers are so lean, once a chip starts, there's very little "meat" to hold the surrounding clear coat down, leading to premature flaking if you don't catch it early.

Restoration Tip

When you're touching up a 2019 Chevy, you have to respect the thinness. Build your layers slowly-don't blob it. If you try to fill a chip in one heavy pass, the repair will sit high and proud like a localized mountain range because the factory finish is so flat and lean. Use a fine-tipped applicator to dab a tiny amount of color into the center of the chip and let it "flow" to the edges. For those tricky tricoats like Abalone White or Caught Red Handed, remember that the depth comes from the mid-coat, not the thickness of the paint. Two thin whispers of paint will always look better and last longer than one thick glob that's destined to pop off the first time you hit the car wash.
