Chevrolet Cobalt Touch Up Paint (54 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

The Chevrolet Cobalt didn't just come in "car colors"-it came in a full spectrum of personality. With 54 recorded colors, Chevy really went for it. We're talking about everything from the head-turning Sunburst Orange II Metallic and the vibrant Arrival Blue Metallic to the rare, legendary Mary Kay Pink Pearl Tricoat. Whether you're rocking the stealthy Ink Slate Metallic or the classic Victory Red, this car was built to stand out in a parking lot full of silver sedans.

What to Watch For

If you own a Cobalt, you've likely noticed that the clear coat has a bit of a "quitter" attitude. These cars are famous for clear coat delamination-that's when the shiny top layer starts peeling off like a bad sunburn, especially on the hood, roof, and the tops of the door handles. Before you start your repair, you need your secret weapon: the paint code. On a Cobalt, don't bother looking in the door jamb first. Head straight for the trunk, lift up the carpet, and look at the sticker on the trunk floor near the spare tire. You're looking for a code starting with "WA" or "U" (like WA8555 for Black).

Driveway Repair Tip

Since so many Cobalt colors are heavy on the "Metallic" and "Effect" side (looking at you, Majestic Amethyst), your biggest challenge is getting those tiny sparkles to behave. These metallic flakes like to settle at the bottom of the bottle. Shake your touch-up pen or bottle for a full two minutes-long after you think you're done-to wake up that shimmer. When applying, remember: dab, don't wipe. Use the tip of the applicator to drop a tiny bead of paint into the center of the chip and let it spread out naturally. It requires patience, but two thin layers will always look better than one thick, gloopy one.
