COLOR CODEWA713S/GHT - Swerve Green MetallicChevrolet Touch-Up Paint

The Look

You are looking at a true unicorn of the truck world. Since your Colorado was likely built during its single-year production run in 2010, you own one of the rarest shades Chevrolet ever put on a utility vehicle. This color is a high-energy, punchy green that leans into its mechanical roots. It does not try to hide in the woods like a traditional forest green; instead, it catches the light with a sharp, crisp personality that makes the boxy lines of your truck pop. Because it was only around for one year, finding a perfect match is vital to keeping that rare factory look intact.

Technical Details

Before you spray or dab Chevrolet Swerve Green Metallic (check for code WA713S/GHT), you need to understand that this is a metallic finish. This means the paint is packed with tiny flakes that determine how the color reflects. If you apply the paint too heavily in one spot, those flakes will sink and bunch up, creating dark patches or stripes known as mottling. To get the green to look uniform, you must ensure the flakes lay down flat and even across the repair area. Since your vehicle has been on the road for over a decade, the original finish might have shifted slightly, so focus on light, even layers to help the new paint sit naturally against the old.

Best Practices

You can find your paint code on the silver Service Parts Identification sticker located inside your glove box. Once you have your supplies ready, the most important step is shaking the container for a full minute to get those heavy metallic particles off the bottom and into the mix. Before you touch the truck, test the color on the included card to ensure the flake density looks right. Whether you are using a pen or a nozzle, keep the container moving constantly to prevent the paint from pooling. Let the drying time pass completely between each thin coat, and always finish with a clear coat to lock in the metallic shine and protect the color from fading in the sun.
