COLOR CODE57/WA409P - Star Silver II MetallicHummer Touch-Up Paint

The Look

This shade arrived just as the original Hummer brand was entering its final chapter, making it a relatively rare find on the road today. It is a clean, industrial silver that trades the warm, golden undertones of earlier 2000s paints for a cooler, more high-tech aesthetic. On an H3, this color does a fantastic job of masking trail dust and road salt, maintaining a rugged profile even when you haven't had time for a wash. Since your truck has been out in the elements for over fifteen years, the silver may have shifted slightly in tone, so keep that in mind as you prep for your repair.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, which means the paint is packed with tiny aluminum flakes that provide that signature glint. Metallic paints are excellent for hiding small surface imperfections, but they require a bit more care during application than a flat color. If you apply the paint too heavily in one spot, the flakes will sink and create dark, blotchy patches known as mottling. To get a consistent look that matches the rest of your H3, you want those flakes to stand up and distribute evenly across the repair area.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Hummer Star Silver II Metallic (check for code 57/WA409P), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. You can find your official service sticker-which lists this code-located inside your glove box door. To ensure the metallic flakes don't clump or settle at the bottom, keep the container moving at all times while you work. Always test the color on the included card first; this allows you to see how the metallic particles settle and helps you confirm the shade matches the current state of your vehicle's finish before you apply it in the garage or the shade.
