COLOR CODE72/WA526F - Redfire MetallicHummer Touch-Up Paint

The Look

This color defined the early era of the H2 and remains one of the most recognizable shades from the brand's peak. It is a sophisticated, deep red that sits somewhere between a brick and a dark cherry, providing a heavy sense of presence that fits the scale of your vehicle. Since your Hummer has likely spent years enduring the elements, this specific red is excellent for hiding the minor road rash and desert pinstripes that come with ownership. It is not a loud, bright red, but rather a rich tone that makes the massive body panels look premium and solid.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, which means it relies on tiny flakes suspended in the pigment to catch and reflect light. Because these flakes are heavier than the paint itself, they have a natural tendency to sink or clump if the mixture isn't perfect. If you apply the paint too heavily in one spot, the flakes will pile up and create dark patches, a problem known as mottling. This can make your repair look like a series of stripes or clouds rather than a uniform surface. Success with this color depends entirely on how evenly you can distribute those metallic particles across the repair area.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Hummer Redfire Metallic (check for code 72/WA526F), you need to shake it for 60 seconds to ensure the metallic flakes are fully suspended. You can find your paint code on the Service Parts Identification sticker, which is usually located inside the glove box or on the driver's side door jamb. Test the color on the included card to see how the flakes settle before you touch the vehicle. To avoid dark spots, keep the container moving and apply several thin layers rather than one heavy coat. Work in your garage or the shade to ensure the drying time is consistent and the finish does not become brittle or uneven in direct sun.
