WA704S - Loft Brown (Interior) Chevrolet Touch Up Paint

The Look

Loft Brown is a deep, chocolatey earth tone that Chevrolet used to distinguish its premium High Country and upscale Malibu interiors from 2016 to 2019. It is a warm, sophisticated color that breaks up the sea of black and gray plastic usually found in modern cabins. Since your Malibu or Traverse has been on the road for several years, you have likely noticed that high-traffic areas like the door pulls and dashboard accents are prone to scuffs. This color is designed to restore that earthy, upscale atmosphere that makes the interior feel more like a lounge and less like a standard commuter car.

Technical Details

Unlike most flat interior colors, this finish contains subtle metallic flakes that give the trim its signature depth. While these particles create a premium look, they require careful handling because they are prone to mottling. Mottling happens when the metallic flakes bunch together in clumps, creating dark streaks or uneven patches. This matters because interior lighting is often harsh; any inconsistency in the flake distribution will be obvious the moment the sun hits your dashboard. You need the particles to lay down flat and even to maintain the factory appearance.

Best Practices

You can find the confirmation for your color on the silver Service Parts Identification sticker, which is almost always located on the inside of the glove box lid. Before you spray or dab Chevrolet Loft Brown (Interior) (check for code WA704S), you need to shake it for 60 seconds to ensure the heavy metallic pigments are fully mixed. Test the color on the included card to see how the flakes settle before moving to your interior panels. Work in a cool garage rather than in direct sunlight to prevent the paint from drying mid-air. Apply thin, light layers and keep the container moving to prevent the paint from pooling. Allow plenty of drying time between each pass to ensure the finish remains crisp and durable.
