COLOR CODEWA418C/G26 - High VoltageChevrolet Touch-Up Paint

The Look

This color does not just sit on the metal; it practically hums. If you are driving a Corvette in this shade, you already know it was designed to stop traffic and start conversations. It belongs to the family of high-visibility, neon-influenced yellows that Chevrolet used to define its modern performance era. Because your car has likely spent its life as a weekend showpiece or a high-speed cruiser, the finish remains sharp, but that high intensity makes every small rock chip stand out like a sore thumb.

Technical Details

Before you spray or dab Chevrolet High Voltage (check for code WA418C/G26), you need to understand that this is a Tricoat finish. It relies on a base layer and a semi-transparent pearl mid-coat to achieve that electric glow. This means the depth of the color depends entirely on how many layers you apply. If you go too heavy with the mid-coat, the repair will look darker and greener than the rest of the car. If you go too light, it will look thin and lack that signature pearl pop. It is a finicky finish, but it is the secret to that radioactive appearance.

Best Practices

You can find your service identification sticker by checking the driver's door jamb or looking inside the glove box for a silver or white label. Once you have the paint, shake the container for at least a full minute to get those pearl particles off the bottom. Test the color on the included card before you touch the car to see how many layers of the pearl coat you need to match the factory depth. When applying, keep the container moving to avoid puddles or heavy spots. Give each layer enough drying time so the next one sits flat. If you are using a pen, use light dabs rather than long strokes to keep the metallic flakes from bunching up.
