WA929L/15 - Cashmere MetallicGMC Touch Up Paint

The Look

Your GMC Savana is a workhorse, and this color was built to handle the grit of the road. Since your vehicle has likely spent over a decade in service, you have probably noticed that this warm, sandy tan is a master of disguise. It hides dust and road grime far better than a standard white or black finish. Because it was only available on the Savana for the 2013 model year, it is a rare sight, offering a more sophisticated, "executive" feel to a van that usually prioritizes utility over style.

Technical Details

This is a true metallic finish, which means the paint is packed with tiny flakes that reflect light to give the surface depth. However, metallic paints are temperamental. If the flakes aren't distributed evenly, you will end up with dark patches or "tiger stripes" across the repair area. This happens because the heavy metallic particles want to sink to the bottom of the container. To get a consistent look, you must ensure the flakes stay suspended in the liquid throughout the entire process.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab GMC Cashmere Metallic (check for code WA929L/15), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. You should hear the mixing ball rattling clearly; that is the sound of the metallic flakes being redistributed. If you are working on a Savana, you can verify your code on the silver Service Parts Identification sticker located inside the glove box or on the driver-side door jamb. In some van configurations, you may even find it on the base of the driver's seat. Test the color on the included card before touching the vehicle to ensure the shade matches your weathered finish. When applying, keep the container moving in steady, light passes. Heavy coats will cause the metallic particles to bunch up, ruining the "whisper-smooth" look of the cashmere finish. Give the area plenty of drying time in a cool garage or the shade before applying your clear coat.
