Your Paint Color Profile

79/WA119B - Mystic Teal Metallic

The Look

This color is a true child of the mid-nineties. It is not just a simple green or a basic blue; it is a shape-shifter that defined the aesthetic for everything from the sporty Camaro to the workhorse S10. In the shade, it looks like a deep, moody forest green, but as soon as you pull your car into the sun, the metallic flakes wake up and reveal a brilliant royal blue with subtle purple undertones. Because your vehicle has been on the road for nearly thirty years, the original finish has likely developed its own character through sun exposure, so expect this fresh pigment to look deep and saturated compared to the aged panels around it.

Technical Details

This is a complex metallic finish that relies heavily on the orientation of its flakes to get that "chameleon" effect. The biggest risk you face with a color this dark and metallic is mottling, which looks like uneven dark splotches or "tiger stripes" across the repair area. This happens if the flakes don't lay down flat or if the paint is applied too heavily in one spot. Since this is a basecoat-heavy color, you must follow up with a high-quality clear coat to protect the metallic particles and provide the depth needed to make that teal shift correctly in the light.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Chevrolet Mystic Teal Metallic (check for code 79/WA119B), you need to shake it for 60 seconds to ensure the heavy metallic and mica particles are fully suspended. You can find your paint code on the silver Service Parts Identification sticker, usually located inside the glove box, on the driver-side door jamb, or under the trunk lid near the spare tire. Test the color on the included card first to see how it reacts to the light in your garage or shade. When applying the paint, keep the container moving to ensure an even distribution of the flakes. Allow plenty of drying time between layers, as rushing this specific color can lead to the metallic particles "swimming" and ruining the factory look.

How to Find Your Chevrolet's Color Code

Chevrolet did not make it easy to find the color code. Over the years they used many different locations and did not standardize the color plate, so it can be hard to locate. Usually it is in the glove box or the spare tire well; otherwise, the search may extend everywhere. The typical code is 51/WA316N, usually preceded by BC/CC. Two tone codes can appear as BC/CC U316N or BC/CC L316N (U for Upper, L for Lower).

Will absolutely order from this company again.

After ordering touch-up paint from Lexus I was still waiting for it a month later. If they'd told me upfront it would take that long I wouldn't have ordered in the first place. Paint Scratch was recommended by a friend who restores cars. Easy ordering, fair price and fast shipping. The color match is great especially considering my car is a 2012. Will absolutely order from this company again. Reason I chose this business: Lexus collision repair and a local collision repair. Will use paint less dent removal and touch up chipped paint myself. Reason I chose this product: Spouse sideswiped passenger side of car while backing out of garage. Mostly plastic transfer from his wheel well trim but pressure creased and cracked the paint causing a bare strip 1/8 wide x 4" long below door handle. Scratches on door handle and a few small chips on both doors.

Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans

Used Paint Scratch metallic custom mixed spray cans paint on a hood panel with excellent coverage and texture over the surface. Metallic paint can be very unforgiving out of a spray can, sputtering pigmentation dots on the panel being sprayed and thus ruining the paint job. No such issues with Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint spray cans. Paint sprayed strong and evenly till the last drop of paint in the can. Shipping time was faster than expected. Reason I chose this business: Having tried other brands of custom mixed metallic paint with terrible results, sputtering pigmentation tint dots from the spray nozzle in spite of vigorously shaking of can prior to application and loss of propellant rendering the lower fifth of the can's paint useless, Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint sprays out beautifully and strong all the way to the last gram of paint in the can. Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans for automotive restoration. Thank you Paint Scratch.
