Chevrolet S-Series Touch Up Paint (118 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Chevrolet didn't just make a truck with the S Series; they made a rolling canvas. We've recorded a staggering 118 colors for this series. They really went for it, offering everything from the workhorse Pewter Metallic and Indigo Metallic to the "look-at-me" Tangier Orange and Bright Yellow. Whether your truck spent its life on a construction site or cruising the local strip, there is a specific shade of 90s nostalgia waiting for you.

What to Watch For

If your S-10 or Sonoma looks like it's suffering from a bad sunburn, you aren't alone. During this era, the clear coat on these trucks had a habit of "delaminating"-which is just a fancy way of saying the top layer likes to peel off in sheets, especially on the hood and roof. You'll also want to keep a close eye on the areas around the door handles and the bottom of the tailgates; paint tends to bubble and chip there first.

To find your specific match, pop open the glove box. You're looking for a white or silver sticker filled with three-digit codes. Your paint code is usually at the bottom, starting with "WA" or "U" (for Upper body color). It might be something like WA9260 (Victory Red) or WA382E (Pewter Metallic).

Driveway Repair Tip

Since so many S Series colors are Metallic or "Pri Metallic" (meaning they have little flakes of sparkle inside), your biggest hurdle is the "settle." Those heavy metallic flakes love to sink to the bottom of the touch-up bottle.

The Whisperer's Secret: Shake that bottle or spray can for a full two minutes-long after you think you're done. When using a touch-up brush, think "dab," not "paint." If you try to brush it on like a wall in your house, you'll drag all the silver sparkles to one side and the spot will look darker than the rest of the truck. Apply one thin layer, let it dry for 15 minutes, and then hit it again. Patience is the difference between a "fix" and a "fleck."
