COLOR CODEWA300NChevrolet Velocity Yellow Touch-Up Paint

The Look

This is the pulse of the Corvette racing program. From the moment it debuted, this shade became the definitive look for the C6 and early C7 generations. It is a high-energy yellow that demands attention and feels right at home on a car built for the track. Since your Corvette has likely spent years catching sun and wind, the finish is the soul of the car's aesthetic. This color does not just sit on the surface; it has a visual weight that makes the body lines pop, even when the car is parked in your driveway.

Technical Details

You are working with a tintcoat finish, which is more complex than a standard solid color. Velocity Yellow achieves its glow through a translucent middle layer. This creates a specific challenge for your repair. If you apply the paint too heavily in one spot, the color will appear darker or more orange than the factory finish. You are not dealing with metallic flakes that can mottle or stripe, but you are managing transparency. The final shade depends entirely on how many layers you apply, so patience is your best tool for an invisible repair.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Chevrolet Velocity Yellow (check for code WA300N), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. You can usually find your paint code on the silver Service Parts Identification sticker located inside the glove box or tucked under the carpet in the rear trunk area near the battery. Before touching the car, test the color on the included card to see how the shade deepens with each pass. When you move to the vehicle, keep the container moving to ensure an even spread of pigment. Give the paint plenty of drying time between light coats, and remember that three thin layers will always look better than one thick one. Work in a cool garage or the shade to prevent the finish from drying too quickly while you work.
