Chevrolet Epica Touch Up Paint (43 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Chevrolet didn't just give the Epica a color palette; they gave it a gallery. With 43 recorded colors, they moved quickly from your standard Galaxy White and Fine Silver Birch into some seriously high-brow territory. When you're naming colors Kandinsky Red Metallic and Poseidon Blue Effect, you're clearly trying to bring some class to the morning commute. Whether you're driving a Modern Green machine or a Melange Beige cruiser, it's clear the designers really went for it.

What to Watch For

Before you pop that cap, we need to find your car's DNA-the paint code. On the Epica, don't go hunting around the door frame just yet; head straight for the glove box. Look for a silver or white "Service Parts Identification" sticker. You're looking for a code that usually starts with "WA" or "BC/CC U."

A quick reality check for your driveway project: the Epica's clear coat can be a bit sensitive to the sun. You'll often see "sunburn" (where the clear coat starts to flake or look chalky) on the flat surfaces like the roof or the top of the trunk. If you've got a chip on the hood, address it sooner rather than later; catching it early prevents the edges from lifting and turning a small fix into a larger headache.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since so many Epica colors are "Metallic" or have an "Effect" (like that deep Imperial Blue), the "glitter" inside the bottle loves to settle at the bottom. Shake your touch-up bottle for at least 60 seconds-longer than you think you need to-to wake up those sparkles so they match your car. When you apply the paint, avoid the temptation to "paint" a line. Instead, use the tip of the brush to gently dab tiny dots of paint into the center of the chip. It requires a bit of patience, but letting the paint flow into the gap on its own will give you a much smoother finish than one thick blob.
