Chevrolet Med. Duty Truck Paint Info
The Color Breakdown
Chevrolet didn't hold back when it came to the Medium Duty Truck lineup, offering a solid spread of 13 recorded colors. They really went for it with "working man" classics like Wheatland Yellow and Woodland Green, but they also added some unexpected flair with Tangier Orange and the eye-catching Nassau Blue Metallic. Whether your truck is a humble White hauler or a bold Red Orange machine, there's a good chance it was built to stand out on the job site.
What to Watch For
These trucks are absolute workhorses, but their paint has a bit of a "sunburn" problem. It's very common to see the clear coat start to get shy and peel away on the high-exposure areas like the hood and the roof. You should also keep a close eye on the areas around the door handles; the paint there tends to get a little cranky and can bubble or rub thin from years of heavy-duty use. To find your specific color match, skip the door jamb-on these trucks, the "Service Parts Identification" sticker is usually hiding inside the glove box. Look for a code starting with "WA" or "U" followed by four digits.
Driveway Repair Tip
When you're ready to tackle those chips with your touch-up brush, remember that patience is your best friend. For those punchy solid colors like Bright Red, don't try to fill a deep chip in one go, or you'll end up with a "volcano" of paint. Instead, dab a tiny bit in, let it dry for 20 minutes, and repeat until it's level. If you're working with Nassau Blue Metallic, give that bottle a serious workout-shake it for a full minute to make sure the metallic flakes are swimming evenly before you touch it to the truck.
