Chevrolet M Van Touch Up Paint (30 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

The Chevrolet M Van-better known to its friends as the Astro-might look like a humble workhorse, but Chevrolet actually gave us 30 different colors to play with over the years. While half of the ones we see on the road are various shades of White, they really went for it with some vibrant choices like Tangier Orange, Woodland Green, and the delightfully named Wheatland Yellow. Whether yours is a rugged cargo hauler or a family road-tripper with Dark Chestnut Metallic panels, there is a lot of character hiding under that road grime.

What to Watch For

Now, let's be honest: GM paint from this era is a bit of a "peeler." If you're looking at your hood or roof and seeing the clear coat flake off like a bad sunburn, you're not alone-it's a classic M Van trait. You'll also want to keep an eye on the vertical front face and the edges of the sliding door, as these are magnet areas for stone chips. To find your specific color match, go on a treasure hunt for the "Service Parts Identification" (RPO) sticker. It's usually tucked away inside the glove box or occasionally on the passenger door pillar. Look for a code near the bottom that starts with "U" or "WA" (like WA-8624).

Driveway Repair Tip

If you're using a touch-up pen on one of those beautiful metallics like Light Mesa Brown, here's the secret: shake that bottle for a full two minutes. Those tiny metallic flakes like to settle at the bottom, and you want them floating evenly so your repair doesn't look like a dark smudge. When you're filling a chip, don't try to fill the whole hole in one go. Dab a tiny bit in, let it dry for twenty minutes, and then come back for a second pass. It's better to build a little "paint mountain" with thin layers than to deal with one giant, gooey drip running down the side of your van.
