COLOR CODE65/WA736Q - Silver Lightning MetallicHummer Touch-Up Paint

The Look

Since your H3 comes from the final stretch of the brand's original run, it likely carries a more modern, technical aesthetic than the rugged tan models of the past. This color is a sharp, energetic shade that was only available for a single year. It gives the boxy silhouette of the H3 a more refined, aerodynamic appearance even when the truck is standing still. It is a practical choice for a vehicle built for the dirt, as it masks road dust and light scratches much better than the darker blacks or greens often found on these rigs.

Technical Details

This finish is a true metallic, which means it relies on tiny flakes to reflect light and create that high-voltage glow. Metallic paints require more attention than solid colors because those flakes want to clump together. If you apply the paint too thick or too fast, the flakes will settle unevenly, creating dark patches or a blotchy look that ruins the metallic effect. Your goal is to keep the application light so the silver stays crisp and uniform across the surface of your panel.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Hummer Silver Lightning Metallic (check for code 65/WA736Q), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. You can verify your color match by looking at the Service Parts Identification sticker located inside your glove box. Once you have the right spot, test the color on the included card to make sure the pigment matches the current state of your H3. Whether you are using a nozzle or a brush, keep the container moving to ensure the metallic particles stay suspended in the paint. Give the area plenty of drying time between light coats to prevent the silver from looking muddy or dull in the garage.
