Your Paint Color Profile

13S/WA9534 - Silver Metallic

The Look

This is the workhorse of the late eighties. From C/K trucks to the Camaro, it defined the era's functional aesthetic. It's a blue-toned silver. Cold. Industrial. It hides road grime better than almost any other shade. If your Chevy worked for a living in 1988, it probably wore this. It doesn't scream for attention. It just gets the job done.

Technical Details

This is a true metallic. The flakes are fine but they settle fast. If you apply it too heavy, the silver turns dark and muddy. Too light, and it looks like dry dust. Metallics are prone to mottling. That means stripes or "tiger markings" if your hand isn't steady. Before you spray or dab Chevrolet Silver Metallic (check for code 13S/WA9534), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. You need those flakes suspended, not sitting at the bottom of the container.

Best Practices

Find your confirmation on the Service Parts sticker inside the glove box or the center console. Use a Garage or a patch of Shade. Avoid direct sun. Test the color on the included card to see how the flakes lay down. Whether using a Nozzle or a Brush, work in thin, light layers. Thick coats will ruin the metallic effect. Keep the container moving at all times to prevent pooling. Let each layer sit for a full Drying time before adding the next. Patience saves you from a sand-and-redo.

ensuring the right match

Find your Chevrolet paint code

Chevrolet did not make it easy to find the color code. Over the years they used many different locations and did not standardize the color plate, so it can be hard to locate. Usually it is in the glove box or the spare tire well; otherwise, the search may extend everywhere. The typical code is 51/WA316N, usually preceded by BC/CC. Two tone codes can appear as BC/CC U316N or BC/CC L316N (U for Upper, L for Lower).

Will absolutely order from this company again.

After ordering touch-up paint from Lexus I was still waiting for it a month later. If they'd told me upfront it would take that long I wouldn't have ordered in the first place. Paint Scratch was recommended by a friend who restores cars. Easy ordering, fair price and fast shipping. The color match is great especially considering my car is a 2012. Will absolutely order from this company again. Reason I chose this business: Lexus collision repair and a local collision repair. Will use paint less dent removal and touch up chipped paint myself. Reason I chose this product: Spouse sideswiped passenger side of car while backing out of garage. Mostly plastic transfer from his wheel well trim but pressure creased and cracked the paint causing a bare strip 1/8 wide x 4" long below door handle. Scratches on door handle and a few small chips on both doors.

Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans

Used Paint Scratch metallic custom mixed spray cans paint on a hood panel with excellent coverage and texture over the surface. Metallic paint can be very unforgiving out of a spray can, sputtering pigmentation dots on the panel being sprayed and thus ruining the paint job. No such issues with Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint spray cans. Paint sprayed strong and evenly till the last drop of paint in the can. Shipping time was faster than expected. Reason I chose this business: Having tried other brands of custom mixed metallic paint with terrible results, sputtering pigmentation tint dots from the spray nozzle in spite of vigorously shaking of can prior to application and loss of propellant rendering the lower fifth of the can's paint useless, Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint sprays out beautifully and strong all the way to the last gram of paint in the can. Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans for automotive restoration. Thank you Paint Scratch.
