Chevrolet Aveo Paint Info
The Color Breakdown
For a car that was built to be a sensible, budget-friendly commuter, Chevrolet certainly didn't hold back on the spice. We've recorded a staggering 83 colors for the Aveo. They really went for it-ranging from the straightforward Olympic White to the surprisingly poetic Limited Addiction Pearl and the curiously named Black Meet Kettle Pearl. Whether you're driving a "Highway Yellow" hatchback or a "Fayence Teal" sedan, your Aveo was clearly designed by someone who wanted to make sure you were never lost in a parking lot full of gray SUVs.
What to Watch For
The Aveo is a sturdy little machine, but its skin can be a bit sensitive to the elements. The most common "growing pain" for these cars is the Aveo Sunburn-otherwise known as clear coat peeling on the roof and hood. Because the paint can be a little thin on the door edges and handles, those are the first places you'll likely spot a chip.
To find your specific color match, you'll need to go on a quick treasure hunt. Forget the door jamb; on the Aveo, you'll usually find the "Service Parts Identification" sticker hiding inside the glove box. Look for a code starting with "WA" (like WA8554). That's the secret password for your exact shade.
Driveway Repair Tip
Since many Aveo colors feature those fancy metallic and pearl effects (looking at you, Sunset Orange Mica), the "shake" is the most important part of the job. Before you touch that brush to your car, shake your paint bottle for at least 60 full seconds. Those little metallic flakes like to nap at the bottom of the bottle, and you need them awake and dancing to get a good match.
When you're ready to apply, remember: less is more. Instead of trying to fill a chip with one big "blob" of paint, use the tip of your brush to add tiny, thin layers. It might take two or three passes, but it'll look like a professional fix rather than a drop of nail polish. Patience is your best tool here!
