COLOR CODEWA699F - Light Silver Metallic (matt)Chevrolet Touch-Up Paint

The Look

Your Chevrolet Volt or Cruze wears a shade that defines the modern, high-tech era of the late 2010s. This silver isn't about flashy chrome or deep sparkles; it is a clean, industrial tone that highlights the aerodynamic lines of your car without screaming for attention. Since your vehicle has been on the road for a few years, you likely appreciate how well this color hides road salt and light dust. It gives off a precise, technical vibe that fits perfectly with the eco-conscious design of a hybrid or the sharp styling of a compact sedan.

Technical Details

This finish is a metallic, which means it relies on tiny flakes to create its signature depth. Silver is notoriously finicky because those flakes like to clump together or lay unevenly, leading to a blotchy look called mottling. If you apply the paint too heavily in one spot, it will look like dark clouds are floating under the surface. The "matt" designation in the base color means it will look flat and dull once it dries, so do not panic. The depth and protection only appear once you add the final clear layer over the top.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Chevrolet Light Silver Metallic (matt) (check for code WA699F), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. You can find your paint code on the silver Service Parts Identification sticker, usually located inside your glove box or on the driver's side door jamb. Those metallic particles settle at the bottom of the container quickly, and if they aren't fully mixed, your repair will look like a different shade entirely. Test the color on the included card to make sure the flakes are distributing properly. When applying, keep the container moving to ensure the silver particles land evenly across the surface. Give each layer enough drying time so the finish stays crisp and doesn't sag.
