Chevrolet Asuna S/E Paint Info
The Color Breakdown
The Chevrolet Asuna S/E is a rare bird, a Canadian-exclusive time capsule from the early '90s. With only 4 recorded colors, they kept the palette tight but definitely "on-trend" for the era. You're likely holding a bottle of Light Teal Metallic or Polynesian Green-colors that basically scream "I have a Genesis and a windbreaker." If you're rocking the Bright White or Medium Gray Metallic, you've got a classic look that has aged a bit more gracefully than a neon track suit.
What to Watch For
Since these cars were built during a specific era of GM and Isuzu collaboration, the clear coat can be a little temperamental. You might notice the paint starting to look "ashy" or flaky on the roof and hood where the sun hits it hardest. Also, keep a close eye on the door edges and the area around the pop-up headlights; these spots tend to catch road debris and chip easily. To find your specific color match, look for the "Service Parts Identification" sticker. It's usually tucked away in the glove box or located on the firewall under the hood. You're looking for a code starting with "WA" followed by four numbers.
Driveway Repair Tip
Because three of the four available colors are metallics, those tiny silver flakes like to settle at the bottom of the bottle like sand at the beach. Before you even think about touching the car, shake your touch-up pen or bottle for a full two minutes-yes, use a timer. This "wakes up" the metallic particles so the color stays consistent. When applying, remember that three thin, translucent layers are always better than one big, gloppy teardrop. Patience is your best friend here; let each layer dry until it's no longer tacky before adding the next one.
