Chevrolet Bolt Touch Up Paint (81 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Chevrolet didn't just give the Bolt a paint job; they gave it a personality. With 77 recorded colors, they clearly had a blast in the naming room. While most cars stick to "Silver" and "Black," the Bolt leans into the quirky with names like Limited Addiction Pearl, Black Meet Kettle Pearl, and the undeniably punchy Pow Zinga Metallic. Whether you're driving the electric-vibe Shock Metallic or the berry-inspired Edible Berries Metallic, it's clear that Chevy went all-in on making sure this EV didn't blend into the background.

What to Watch For

If you feel like your Bolt gets a scratch just by you looking at it, you aren't imagining things-owners frequently report that the factory clear coat is a bit "soft" and prone to road rash. You'll also want to keep a close eye on the roof rails and the hood, as early models (especially the 2017s) are known for clear coat peeling and tiny bubbles where the paint meets the trim.

To find your exact match, skip the glovebox. On most Bolts, your paint code is living on a sticker on the driver's side door jamb (B-pillar). You might see a QR code there; scan it with your phone to reveal a string of text, or just look for a 4-character code starting with "WA" or ending in "F" (like 247F). If it's not there, check the floor of the trunk near the spare tire well-Chevy likes to keep us on our toes.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since many of the Bolt's best colors are pearls or high-shimmer metallics (looking at you, Blue Me Away), your touch-up bottle is basically a snow globe. Those tiny metallic flakes settle at the bottom quickly. Shake that bottle for a full two minutes-not just a polite wiggle-to ensure the color looks like the car and not a flat gray smudge. When applying, remember that this paint is thin from the factory, so use the "dotting" method: dab a tiny amount into the center of the chip and let it spread itself out. It requires patience, but thin layers will always look better than a thick glob that never quite levels out.
