Chevrolet Sprint Paint Info
### The Color Breakdown
The Chevrolet Sprint might have been built for economy, but with **20 colors** recorded over its run, they certainly didn't skimp on the palette. Whether you're rocking the vibrant Spectra Red, the sophisticated Crimson Maple Metallic, or the oddly regal Medium Royal Blue Metallic, Chevrolet (and their partners at Suzuki) really went for it. It wasn't just "white and grey"; they offered everything from Light Chestnut Metallic to the stealthy Flat Black, giving this tiny commuter a surprisingly custom feel.
What to Watch For
If your Sprint's paint looks like it's peeling after a bad beach trip, you're not alone. This era of GM paint is famous for "delamination"-where the top layer decides it's done and starts to lift in sheets. Keep a close eye on the roof and the tops of the door handles, as these are the first spots to fade or bubble. To find your exact match, you'll need the "Service Parts Identification" sticker. Because this was a Suzuki-built import, the location can be an Easter egg hunt: check the inside of the glove box first, but if it's not there, pop the hood and look at the cowl/firewall (the metal shelf right below the windshield).
Driveway Repair Tip
Since so many of these colors-like Crystal Silver Metallic and Bright Blue Metallic-are packed with tiny metallic flakes, your biggest hurdle is "settling." These sparkles love to sink to the bottom of the bottle. **Shake your touch-up pen or brush for a full two minutes** before you start. When applying, don't try to fill a deep chip in one go; use the "dotting" method to apply three very thin layers rather than one big blob. This prevents the metallic flakes from bunching up and looking like a dark smudge on your fender.
