COLOR CODEGGA/GJ3/GJ6 - Edible Berries MetallicChevrolet Touch-Up Paint

The Look

This color is a rarity. It enjoyed a short run on the 2019 Traverse before Chevrolet moved on to other shades. In the shade, it looks like a simple black or a dark brown, but the sun reveals the personality of the paint. It has deep red and violet undertones that come to life in direct light. Your Traverse has spent years on the road, and you notice that the original finish has depth that needs protection. Touching up these spots helps preserve the berry glow that makes this model stand out from the sea of silver and white SUVs.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, which means it contains tiny flakes designed to catch the light. These flakes can be difficult to manage if the paint goes on heavy. If you apply the paint in thick coats, the metallic particles cluster together and create dark, uneven spots known as mottling. To avoid this, you should focus on light, thin layers. This allows the flakes to sit flat and reflect light in the same way as the factory finish. This color is dark and rich, so mistakes in the flake distribution show up more than they would on a lighter metallic.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Chevrolet Edible Berries Metallic (check for code GGA/GJ3/GJ6), you need to shake the container for at least 60 seconds. The metallic flakes in this mix are heavy and settle at the bottom. You can find your paint code on the silver Service Parts Identification sticker inside the glove box or in the spare tire compartment under the trunk floor. Test the color on the included card to confirm the match before you begin the repair. When you start the application, keep the container moving to ensure the paint lays down in a thin coat. Allow plenty of drying time between layers so the metallic particles stay where they land.
