WA50M - Black Mid Gloss Metallic (wheel) Chevrolet Touch Up Paint

The Look

This finish provides the aggressive, industrial edge that defined the 2019 Camaro wheel options. It sits in a specific visual pocket between a flat tactical black and a traditional high-gloss mirror finish. Because it was designed for wheels, it offers a stealthy appearance that highlights the rim's geometry without the distracting glare of a high-shine body paint. Since your wheels live inches from the pavement, they take the brunt of road debris, and this mid-gloss sheen is excellent for hiding the fine pitting that develops over time.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, meaning it relies on tiny flakes to create depth. Metallic paints are notoriously picky because those flakes need to lay flat and even to look right. If the paint goes on too heavy, the particles clump together and create dark, blotchy spots known as mottling. This is especially noticeable on the curved surfaces of a wheel. Because the finish is "Mid Gloss," the texture of your application determines the final look. Aim for thin, even layers to preserve that factory satin glow rather than a thick, gooey surface that might dry with an unintended high-shine.

Best Practices

You can find your color information on the Service Parts Identification sticker inside the glove box or by scanning the QR code on the driver-side door jamb. Before you spray or dab Chevrolet Black Mid Gloss Metallic (wheel) (check for code WA50M), you need to shake the container for a full minute to wake up the metallic flakes. Test the color on the included card to make sure the flake density matches your wheel's current look. When you begin the repair, keep the container moving to ensure the metallic particles distribute naturally. Working in your garage or in the shade will provide the consistent drying time needed for the paint to level out and match the original sheen.
