Chevrolet Van Touch Up Paint (17 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

The Chevrolet Van is a legend of the open road, and over the years, they really went for it with the palette. We've tracked 17 distinct colors for these workhorses, ranging from the business-first Polar White to the "let's-go-camping" vibes of Dark Camel Metallic and the surprisingly bold Orange Metallic. Whether you're driving a Midnight Black stealth machine or a Carmine red cruiser, your van has spent a lot of time in the sun, which means that paint has a story to tell.

What to Watch For

First things first: let's find your ID. Chevrolet hid your paint code on a "Service Parts Identification" sticker. Check the inside of your glove box door first-that's the gold standard for Chevy vans. If it's not there, take a peek at the driver's side door jamb (the B-pillar) or even the rear face of the passenger door. You're looking for a code starting with "WA" or a "U" followed by four numbers.

Now, for the reality check: these vans are famous for "the great peel." If you notice your white paint coming off in sheets or small bubbles forming around the hood and door handles, don't panic. It usually starts with a tiny rock chip that lets moisture sneak under the top layer. Because these vans have a lot of flat, vertical acreage, they are also prone to "chalking" or fading on the roof. It's nothing you can't handle with a little attention before those spots turn into rust.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since so many Chevy Van colors are metallics (like that Charcoal or Light Blue Metallic), your biggest secret weapon is the "Shake-O-Matic" method. Those tiny metallic flakes like to settle at the bottom of the bottle; shake your touch-up pen or bottle for a full 60 seconds-longer than you think you need-to wake up the sparkles.

When applying to the side of the van, remember that gravity is not your friend. If you put on one thick glob, it's going to run down the door like a tear. Instead, dab on two or three "whisper-thin" layers, waiting about 15 minutes between each. It requires a bit more patience, but it keeps the paint exactly where you want it instead of on your driveway.
