Chevrolet Trucks Touch Up Paint (43 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Chevrolet has recorded 43 distinct colors for their trucks, and they really went for it. You've got the high-visibility, "don't-hit-me-on-the-job-site" classics like Omaha Orange and Yukon Yellow, but then they threw a curveball with some serious style. Colors like Tangier Gold Metallic and Crystal Turquoise Metallic prove that even a workhorse can have a little disco fever. Whether you're driving a rig that looks like a sunset or a piece of heavy machinery, Chevy made sure there was a shade for every driveway.

What to Watch For

Chevy trucks are built like tanks, but their clear coats occasionally have the structural integrity of a dandelion in the wind. Keep a sharp eye on the flat surfaces-the hood and the roof are notorious for catching too much sun, which can lead to the clear coat getting flaky or peeling off in small strips. If you're hunting for your color code to fix these spots, don't play hide-and-seek with the door jambs first. On most Chevy trucks, the "Service Parts Identification" sticker is tucked away safely inside your glove box. Look for a code that starts with "WA" or "U" (like WA8554)-that's the secret password to getting your match right.

Driveway Repair Tip

If you're working with one of those flashy metallics like Seamist Jade or Coppertone, your arm is about to get a workout. Shake that touch-up bottle or spray can for at least 60 seconds longer than you think is necessary to wake up all those tiny metallic flakes. When you go to apply the paint, remember: you are a surgeon, not a house painter. Use the tip of your brush to "dab" the paint into the chip rather than wiping it across. Three thin, dainty layers will look like a professional fix, whereas one big, thick blob will just look like a grape stuck to your hood. Patience is your best tool here!
