Chevrolet Geo Metro Paint Info
The Color Breakdown
The Chevrolet Geo Metro might have been built for fuel economy, but when it came to the paint booth, they clearly didn't hold back. With 40 total colors recorded, it's clear the designers wanted to make a statement. We're talking about a lineup that ranges from the dependable White and Silver Metallic to the absolute 90s fever dreams of Super Grape III Metallic, Polynesian Green, and Scuba Blue Metallic. Whether yours is a subtle commuter or looks like a rolling piece of tropical fruit, they really went for it with this palette.
What to Watch For
If you're hunting for your paint code, the Geo Metro likes to play a bit of hide-and-seek. Skip the door jamb for a moment and check the spare tire cover in the trunk or the inside of your glove box. Look for a white "Service Parts Identification" sticker; the code usually starts with "WA" or "BC/CC." As for the paint itself, these little legends are known for "sunburn"-that white, flaky peeling on the roof and hood where the clear coat has decided to retire early. You might also notice the paint feels a bit thin near the door handles, so treat those areas with a gentle touch.
Driveway Repair Tip
Since so many Geo colors are Metallics (looking at you, Magenta and Aqua), your biggest secret weapon is the "The Long Shake." Those tiny metallic flakes like to settle at the bottom of the bottle. Shake your touch-up pen or brush for a full two minutes-long after you think you're done-to make sure those sparkles are actually in the paint and not stuck at the bottom. When applying, think "less is more." Use three thin, whispered layers rather than one big glob. It'll dry faster, stay flatter, and won't look like a DIY disaster.
