The Look

You are dealing with a bold slice of 2017 history. This deep magenta was the high-energy launch face of the Chevrolet Bolt, intended to signal a new electric era, though it also made rare, striking appearances on the Camaro and City Express. Since your vehicle has been on the road for several years, you might notice the original finish has a complex, fruity depth that shifts depending on the light. It is a confident color that refuses to blend in, so when you address those small chips, you are preserving one of the more unique choices Chevrolet ever offered.

Technical Details

This is a true metallic finish, which means its personality comes from tiny flakes suspended in the paint. These flakes are heavier than the pigment and will naturally settle at the bottom of your container. If you do not mix them thoroughly, the color will look too dark or muddy. Metallics are also prone to mottling-those unattractive dark streaks or spots-if the paint is applied too heavily in one spot. To avoid this, you must ensure the flakes lay down evenly. If they clump, the repair will stand out against the factory finish when the sun hits it.

Best Practices

Start by locating your service parts sticker, which is usually found inside the glove box or on the driver's side door jamb. Before you spray or dab Chevrolet Edible Berries Metallic (check for code WA411B/GGA/GJ6), you need to shake it for at least 60 seconds to wake up those metallic flakes. Test the color on the included card to ensure the match is right before moving to your car. Work in the shade or a cool garage, as hot metal will make the paint dry too fast and trap the flakes in an uneven pattern. Keep the container moving at a steady pace and use light layers rather than one thick coat. Give it plenty of drying time between passes to ensure the finish remains level and smooth.
