WA9095 - Polo Green MetallicGMC Touch Up Paint

The Look

This deep, woodland green was a standout choice for the 2003 model year, specifically tailored for the broad panels of the Sierra and Yukon. It is a heritage-style color that feels more like a forest floor than a neon sign, giving your GMC a rugged, professional appearance. Since your truck has likely spent twenty years braving the elements, the original paint might have darkened or shifted slightly, so you are looking for a blend that respects that history while hiding those inevitable trail pinstripes and parking lot dings.

Technical Details

This finish is a metallic, which means it relies on tiny flakes to catch the light and provide depth. The biggest challenge you face with a metallic this dark is mottling. If the paint is applied too heavily in one spot, those flakes will bunch together and create dark, cloudy patches or visible stripes. This happens because the metallic particles need enough room to lay flat rather than sinking into a thick, wet layer. Maintaining a consistent spray distance and avoiding the temptation to get total coverage in a single pass will keep the finish looking uniform and crisp.

Best Practices

You can find your factory confirmation on the service parts sticker located inside your glove box. Before you spray or dab GMC Polo Green Metallic (check for code WA9095), you need to shake it for 60 seconds to ensure the metallic flakes are fully suspended in the pigment. Always test the color on the included card before touching the truck to see how it reacts to your specific lighting. Whether you are using a nozzle or a brush, keep the container moving at all times to prevent the paint from pooling. Work in a cool garage or the shade, allowing enough drying time between light layers to build the color naturally.
