COLOR CODEWA412P/GCE - Sonoma Jewel MetallicChevrolet Touch-Up Paint

The Look

You likely noticed that your car stands out from the sea of bright reds and flat maroons. Whether it is on a Silverado or a compact Trax, this color provides a mature, sophisticated presence. In the shade, it carries a deep, wine-like mood that feels almost black, but once the sun hits it, the finish transforms into a vibrant, glowing ruby. It gives the Aveo a premium edge it wouldn't otherwise have and makes the larger trucks look more like high-end luxury vehicles than workhorses.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, which means it is loaded with tiny reflective flakes that provide that signature depth. These flakes are much heavier than the paint pigments and will naturally sink to the bottom of your container while it sits. If they are not perfectly suspended, you run the risk of mottling, where the color looks blotchy or striped because the flakes bunched up. Since your Chevrolet has likely been on the road for several years, the sun may have shifted the original tone slightly, making the way you lay down these metallic particles even more important for a clean blend.

Best Practices

You can find your specific information on the silver Service Parts Identification sticker, usually located inside the glove box or occasionally on the driver-side door jamb. Before you spray or dab Chevrolet Sonoma Jewel Metallic (check for code WA412P/GCE), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. This is the only way to ensure the metallic particles are distributed for an even flow. Test the color on the included card first to see how it reacts to light. When you begin, keep the container moving at all times to avoid heavy spots. If you are using a pen or brush, apply thin layers and allow for plenty of drying time so you don't move the flakes around with the next stroke.
