Chevrolet Asuna Sprint Paint Info
The Color Breakdown
Back in the early '90s, GM and the short-lived Canadian brand Asuna really went for it. They offered the Chevrolet Asuna Sprint in 10 distinct shades, ranging from the straightforward White and Red to the "look-at-me" Competition Blue and the quintessentially '90s Aqua Metallic. It was a decade where car colors actually had a personality, and the Sprint wore that palette with pride.
What to Watch For
If your Sprint has spent its life outdoors, you've probably noticed the "Great 90s Peel." The clear coat on these models, especially on the hood and roof, tends to get a bit flaky or "chalky" over time. Before you start, you'll need to find your paint code-which is often an Easter egg hunt. Check the glove box first for a white "Service Parts Identification" sticker. If it's not there, peek at the door jamb or lift the carpet in the spare tire well. You're looking for a code that starts with "WA" or a simple number-letter combo like "26U" (that's your Competition Blue).
Driveway Repair Tip
Since many of these colors-like Silver Metallic and Red Metallic-are packed with tiny flakes, they require a bit of patience. Before you open your touch-up bottle or pen, shake it for a full 60 seconds. You want to hear that little agitator ball working hard to wake up the metallic sparkles that have settled at the bottom. When applying, think "dab, don't smear." Use the tip of the brush to drop a tiny bead of paint into the center of the chip and let it flow to the edges. It's much easier to add a second thin layer later than it is to deal with a giant, gloopy mountain of paint on your first try.
