Chevrolet Equinox Touch Up Paint (188 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Chevrolet definitely didn't play it safe with the Equinox. With a staggering 188 colors recorded, they really went for it. While most of us are driving around in Summit White or Mosaic Black, someone out there is rocking Tin Roof Rusted Metallic, Bowie Blue Jean Pearl, or the legendarily named Black Meet Kettle Pearl. Whether your Equinox is "Bae-ge" or "Pow Zinga," the sheer variety means your specific shade is part of a very large, very colorful family.

What to Watch For

Keep a close eye on the front edge of your hood and the bottom of your door panels. Many Equinox owners have noticed the paint likes to bubble or flake in these high-stress spots-sometimes it's a factory clear coat quirk, and other times it's just the road being unkind. To find your exact match, skip the door jamb; on most models, your "Service Parts Identification" sticker is hiding inside the glove box. Look for a code starting with "WA" or "U" (like U8554). If you see "BC/CC," that just means you're working with a standard base coat and clear coat system, which is perfect for a driveway fix.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since so many Equinox colors-like Iridescent Pearl or Pacific Blue-are packed with metallic flakes and pearls, they need a little "wake-up call." Shake your touch-up pen or bottle for a full 60 seconds (set a timer!) to ensure those sparkles are evenly distributed. When you apply the paint, think of it like nail polish: thin, light layers are your best friend. If you try to fill a deep chip with one giant blob, it'll dry unevenly. Give it ten minutes between dabs, and remember that matching these complex pearls requires a little extra patience, but the result is worth the wait.
