Your Paint Color Profile

550 (1970) - Sunflower Yellow

The Look

This color is the embodiment of 1970. It arrived during the peak of the muscle car era, coating everything from the Chevelle and Nova to the massive full-size Impalas. While the Corvette guys were busy with Daytona Yellow, this hue was the go-to for the rest of the Chevrolet lineup. It is a loud, unapologetic shade that carries a distinct, sharp energy. In certain lighting, you will notice a slight green cast to the pigment, which is a trademark of these early seventies high-impact colors. Since your car has likely spent decades under the sun, expect the original paint to have a warmer, slightly more muted tone than the fresh liquid in your hands.

Technical Details

This is a solid finish, meaning there are no metallic flakes or pearls to worry about. The benefit is that you do not have to struggle with "mottling" or uneven silver streaks. The challenge is the pigment itself. Yellow is thin and lacks the hiding power of darker colors. If you are covering a dark primer or a deep scratch, the old color will try to peek through. You will need to be patient. Because it is a solid, the depth of the shine comes entirely from the thickness of your coats and your final clear layer. If you apply it too thin, the color will look weak; apply it too thick, and you risk sags that take forever to dry.

Best Practices

You will find your trim tag on the driver's side of the firewall, tucked away in the engine bay. Before you spray or dab Chevrolet Sunflower Yellow (check for code 550 (1970)), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. This is a heavy pigment color, and the solids like to settle at the bottom. Test the color on the included card to ensure the shade matches your expectations before you touch the car. When you start, keep the container moving to prevent the paint from pooling in one spot. Use several thin layers rather than one heavy one to build up the opacity. Give it plenty of drying time between these layers in a cool garage or the shade to ensure the finish stays level and crisp.

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.
