Chevrolet All Other Models Touch Up Paint (753 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Chevrolet didn't just pick a few shades and call it a day; they've recorded a staggering 767 colors over the years. We're talking about a spectrum that ranges from the legendary muscle-bound Hugger Orange and Evening Orchid Metallic to the strangely enticing (and slightly edible-sounding) Pastel Waxberry. From the shimmering Sebring Silver to the deep Black Sapphire Metallic, they really went for it. Whether your Chevy is a vintage cruiser or a modern highway hero, you're dealing with one of the most diverse color palettes in automotive history.

What to Watch For

While Chevrolet paint is generally hearty, many "Other Models"-particularly trucks and vans-are known for a phenomenon I call the "sunburn effect." This is where the paint loses its grip on the primer and can start flaking off in sheets, especially on the hood or roof. Keep a close eye on your door handles, too; they are high-traffic zones where the paint tends to bubble or wear thin. To find your specific match, skip the door jamb first and head straight for the glove box. Look for a "Service Parts Identification" sticker. You're hunting for a code that usually starts with "WA" or "U" (like WA8554). If it's not in the glove box, check under the trunk lid or the spare tire cover.

Driveway Repair Tip

Because so many of these 767 shades are packed with metallic flakes and pearls-like Cashmere Taupe or Red Tint Tricoat-the most important step happens before you ever touch the car. Shake your touch-up bottle or pen for at least a full minute. Those tiny sparkles love to settle at the bottom, and if you don't wake them up, your "metallic" repair will just look like flat grey. When you apply the paint, don't try to fill the whole chip in one go. Drip a tiny amount into the center of the nick and let it spread itself out. Two thin layers are always better than one big, gloopy mountain of paint.
