Chevrolet Captiva Touch Up Paint (51 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Chevrolet didn't hold back with the Captiva, logging a massive 51 colors over its run. They really went for it, ranging from the straightforward Arctic Bright White to colors that sound more like a dare, such as Limited Addiction Pearl and the hilariously named Black Meet Kettle Pearl. Whether you're driving a Plumberry Metallic or one of the "50 shades of grey" like Ashen Grey Metallic, your car was designed to stand out-or blend in perfectly with a rainy Tuesday.

What to Watch For

Before you start, you need to find your "Service Parts Identification" sticker to get the exact code. Chevrolet usually hides this in the glove box, but if it's not there, check the driver's side door jamb or under the spare tire cover. Keep an eye out for clear coat peeling on the roof and hood, as these SUVs tend to soak up the sun. You might also notice small chips around the door handles or the rear hatch trim; these are classic "wear spots" where the paint is a bit thinner and prone to catching a fingernail or a rogue shopping cart.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since so many Captiva colors are "Metallic," "Effect," or "Pearl," your secret weapon is the 60-second shake. Those tiny sparkles settle at the bottom of the bottle like heavy sand. Shake that touch-up pen or brush until you hear the mixing ball rattling freely, then keep going for another minute to ensure the color is consistent. When applying, remember that three paper-thin layers are always better than one big, gloopy drop. If you're working on a "Tricoat" or "Pearl" color, it requires a little extra patience-just let each layer dry completely so the depth of the color can really build up.
