16U/WA222L/40V - Frost Green Metallic Chevrolet Touch Up Paint

The Look

Your car wears a shade that defines a specific era of international design. This color was a brief but distinctive choice for the Epica and the Vivant back in 2007. It sits in that sophisticated space between a soft mint and a cool silver. Because it was only available for a single year, your vehicle belongs to a small group on the road today. This finish makes your car look lighter and cleaner than it actually is, though its rarity means finding a perfect match requires a bit more care than a standard white or black.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, which means the paint is packed with tiny flakes that catch the light to create depth. Before you apply Chevrolet Frost Green Metallic (check for code 16U/WA222L/40V), you need to shake the container for at least 60 seconds. Metallic flakes are heavy and sink to the bottom; if you do not mix them thoroughly, the color will look too dark and muddy. When you apply the paint, keep the container moving to ensure the flakes lay down evenly. If the flakes bunch up, you will end up with dark spots or stripes that ruin the factory look.

Best Practices

To find your confirmation sticker, look inside the glove box or under the trunk carpet near the spare tire. Once you have the right spot, remember that temperature is your best friend or your worst enemy. Work in a cool garage or the shade, as direct sun will make the drying time too fast and leave the edges of your repair looking rough. Always test the color on the included card to see how the flakes settle before you touch the car. If you are using a pen or brush, use thin layers rather than one thick glob. This prevents the metallic particles from drifting and ensures the repair sits flush with the rest of the panel.
