Your Paint Color Profile

WA743S/GGJ - Sizzle Red II Metallic

The Look

You have a rare finish on your hands. This color only appeared for the 2016 Colorado, making it a limited-run shade that separates your truck from the sea of standard fleet reds. While the name suggests a loud, bright tone, it is a sophisticated, deeper red that gives the pickup a more premium appearance. Since your truck has been on the road for several years now, you might notice the original finish has deepened slightly, but the metallic base still holds its own against the sun.

Technical Details

This is a true metallic finish, which means the look of the repair depends entirely on how the flakes settle. Metallic paints are prone to mottling, where the tiny particles bunch together and create dark, muddy patches instead of a clean shimmer. If you apply the paint too heavy in one pass, the flakes sink and lose their sparkle. You need to build the color with thin layers to keep those particles suspended so the repair blends with the factory panels.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Chevrolet Sizzle Red II Metallic (check for code WA743S/GGJ), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. You can verify your code by looking at the silver service sticker located inside your glove box. Once the paint is mixed, test the color on the included card to ensure the metallic flake is distributing. Keep the container moving to prevent the paint from pooling, and allow plenty of drying time between layers while working in the shade of your garage.

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.
