WA633H/G8F - Sunset Orange Metallic Chevrolet Touch Up Paint

The Look

Your Trax was built to stand out in a sea of gray crossovers, and this color is the reason why. It is a high-energy, sun-drenched shade that gives the car a punchy, urban personality. Since your car has likely been braving the elements since 2016, the finish has probably faced its fair share of road debris and UV rays. This specific orange is deep and saturated, making it excellent at hiding the fine dust of daily driving, but it will show every bit of its age if a chip starts to lead to surface rust. Keeping it fresh ensures that bold, sporty character stays intact.

Technical Details

This is a true metallic finish, which means it relies on tiny flakes suspended in the paint to catch the light. Before you spray or dab Chevrolet Sunset Orange Metallic (check for code WA633H/G8F), you need to shake it for at least 60 seconds to wake up those heavy metallic particles. If you do not mix it thoroughly, the color will look too dark or "muddy" because the flakes are stuck at the bottom of the container. Be aware that metallics can sometimes mottle or create dark stripes if the paint is applied too heavily in one spot. Thin, even layers are your best friend here to ensure the flakes lay down flat and reflect light uniformly.

Best Practices

You can find your paint code on the silver Service Parts Identification sticker located inside your glovebox. Once you have confirmed the match, clean the area with soap and water followed by a wax remover. Test the color on the included card to see how the metallic flake settles before moving to the car. If you are using a pen, use light dabs rather than long strokes to avoid dragging the flakes into a clump. If you are using a can, keep the container moving across the surface to prevent the paint from pooling. Give the paint plenty of drying time between layers, and remember that the color will truly "pop" only after you apply the clear coat to seal the metallic finish.
