Dash Gray Metallic (Interior) (WA9881) Touch-Up Paint for Chevrolet

The Look

Since your Silverado has been on the road for a while, the interior trim pieces have likely endured years of sunlight and cleaning chemicals. This color was a short-lived but sophisticated accent for the 2017 and 2018 model years, designed to give the dashboard a technical, high-end feel. It provides a clean transition between the darker dash plastics and the brighter silver accents. Whether you are touching up a scuff on the bezel or refreshing a worn door handle, this gray maintains the industrial, capable look your truck's cabin had when it first left the lot.

Technical Details

Before you spray or dab Chevrolet Dash Gray Metallic (Interior) (check for code WA9881), you need to shake the container for at least sixty seconds. This finish relies on tiny metallic flakes to create its depth, and those flakes tend to sink to the bottom of the bottle or can. If the mixture is not perfect, the repair will look flat or mismatched. You should be aware that metallic paints are prone to mottling, which occurs when the flakes cluster together into dark streaks. This ruins the finish, so you must pay close attention to how the paint lays down as you work.

Best Practices

You can find your paint code on the silver Service Parts Identification sticker, which is usually located inside your glove box or on the driver's side door jamb. Before starting your repair, test the color on the included card to confirm it matches the surrounding trim. Work in a cool garage out of direct sunlight to prevent the paint from drying too quickly. To get an even finish, keep the container moving across the surface to ensure a consistent flow. If you are applying multiple coats, allow plenty of drying time between them so the metallic flakes have a chance to settle correctly. This patience prevents the paint from looking heavy or textured on your dashboard components.
