91/WA6270 - Medium Argent Metallic (bumper) Chevrolet Touch Up Paint

The Look

This rugged silver was the standard for the heavy-duty bumpers of the late nineties. If you own a 1998 or 1999 Suburban or Tahoe, this color acts as the industrial frame that grounds the look of your truck. It is not meant to be flashy; it is a utilitarian finish designed to withstand road debris while giving the trim a clean, metallic contrast against the body paint. Since your vehicle has spent over twenty years on the road, this bumper paint has likely earned its scars from gravel and sun exposure, making a refresh necessary to bring back that factory-fresh workhorse appearance.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish. The "Argent" designation means the paint contains specific metal flakes that mimic the appearance of raw aluminum. These flakes provide a durable look that hides road grime, but they also present a challenge during application. If the paint is applied too heavily in one spot, the flakes will cluster and create dark, blotchy areas known as mottling. Maintaining a consistent spray distance and keeping the container moving is the only way to ensure the metallic particles lay flat and reflect light evenly across the wide surface of a bumper.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Chevrolet Medium Argent Metallic (bumper) (check for code 91/WA6270), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. The heavy metallic flakes in this formula settle quickly at the bottom of the container and require vigorous mixing to achieve the correct shade. You can find your official code on the white Parts Identification sticker located inside your glove box. Always test the color on the included card before you begin your repair in the garage or the shade. To avoid stripes or blotches, keep the container moving across the repair area and allow for plenty of drying time between each light coat.
