Spitfire (WA445B/GMV) Touch-Up Paint for Chevrolet

The Look

This color belongs to the high-energy, high-visibility era of the 2017 lineup. It was designed to turn heads on the Sonic and Spark, providing a punchy, neon-adjacent green that feels more like a custom paint job than a factory choice. Since your car has likely spent years out in the sun, this pigment might have shifted slightly from its original intensity. Because this is such a bright, saturated shade, any small chip or scratch acts like a magnet for the eyes. Fixing these spots isn't just about protection; it is about restoring that aggressive, sporty attitude your car had on the showroom floor.

Technical Details

This is a solid finish. While you do not have to worry about metallic flakes settling or looking uneven, solid greens are notoriously difficult because they lack the "camouflage" that metallic or pearl finishes provide. Every imperfection in your prep work will show through. Before you spray or dab Chevrolet Spitfire (check for code WA445B/GMV), you need to shake the container for at least 60 seconds. Solid pigments can settle at the bottom, and if they are not fully integrated, the color will look thin or slightly off-shade.

Best Practices

First, confirm your code. In most 2017 Chevrolets, you will find the silver Service Parts Identification sticker inside the glovebox or on the driver-side door jamb. Once you are ready to work in your garage or a patch of shade, test the color on the included card. This is vital to see how the fresh paint interacts with your car's current level of fade. When applying, keep the container moving to ensure the pigment stays level. Several thin layers are always better than one thick one, as heavy applications of this specific green can lead to dark edges or runs. Give the paint plenty of drying time between layers to ensure the depth of the color builds correctly.
