Your Paint Color Profile

WA300N/G8A - Velocity Yellow

The Look

Velocity Yellow is not just a color; it is the visual heartbeat of the Corvette racing legacy. Since your Corvette was built to turn heads, this shade delivers a high-energy, high-visibility punch that defines the C6 and C7 generations. It is far more aggressive than a standard "sunny" yellow, carrying a saturated brightness that looks like it was plucked directly from a Le Mans starting grid. Because this was the go-to choice for the factory race teams for a decade, it carries a pedigree of speed that makes even a stationary car look like it is breaking the limit.

Technical Details

This finish is a premium Tintcoat, which means it relies on a specialized translucent layer to get its signature depth. Unlike a basic solid paint, the final appearance depends heavily on how you build your layers. If you apply the paint too heavily in one spot, the color will appear darker or more "amber" than the rest of the panel. Yellow pigments are also notoriously transparent, so they require patience to achieve full coverage. Before you spray or dab Chevrolet Velocity Yellow (check for code WA300N/G8A), you need to shake it for at least 60 seconds to ensure those heavy pigments are fully suspended.

Best Practices

For a 2016 model, you will typically find your paint code on a silver sticker located under the rear compartment carpet, often near the battery. If you are working on an earlier version of this color, check the inside of the glovebox door. When you start the repair, test the color on the included card to see how many layers you need to match the brightness of your car. Keep the container moving at all times to avoid pooling, as thick spots will ruin the color match. Give each layer plenty of drying time in the shade or your garage; rushing the process with a tintcoat will lead to a cloudy finish that loses that factory glow.

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.
