2025 Chevrolet Touch Up Paint (71 OEM Colors)

The 2025 Chevrolet Vibe

Welcome to the peak of the digital age, where your 2025 Chevrolet-be it a Silverado hauling lumber or a Corvette haunting track days-comes in more shades than a desert sunset. We're tracking 71 colors for this year alone. You've got the earthy, "flat" looks like Cacti and Sea Wolf Tricoat making the Trax and Traverse look like they belong in a tactical unit, and then you've got high-voltage hitters like Hysteria and Amplify Orange. It's a "choose your own adventure" palette, and while the Malibu and Express are keeping it professional, the rest of the fleet is basically a rolling art gallery.

Paint Health Check

Here's the reality from the booth: we are deep in the Thin Paint Era. These 2025 beauties are sprayed by robots that have been programmed to the thousandth of an inch. They are masters of efficiency, but that means there isn't a drop of "extra" paint on that Colorado or Blazer. The factory clear coat is hard and glass-like, which looks incredible under dealership LEDs, but it's brittle. If you're driving a Tahoe or Suburban behind a gravel truck, you're going to see those "robot-spec" layers chip away faster than a cheap manicure. We're also seeing more "factory souvenirs"-little specs of dust or contaminants trapped under the clear-because the assembly line moves faster than a Bolt off the line.

Restoration Tip

When you're fixing a nick on these modern finishes, remember: build layers slowly; don't blob it. Because the factory finish is so thin and precise, a giant dollop of touch-up paint will stick out like a sore thumb, especially on complex tones like Panther Black Metallic or Radiant Red Tricoat. Dab a tiny amount into the chip, let it shrink as the solvents flash off, and repeat until it's level. If you're working with one of the matte finishes like Magnus Gray Matte, put the buffer away-friction is the enemy of that flat look. Treat it like a vintage watch: steady hands and zero rushing.
