Chevrolet Heavy Duty Truck Touch Up Paint (12 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Chevrolet didn't play it safe with the Heavy Duty lineup-they gave us a solid 12-color palette that covers the entire "working hard" spectrum. While you'll see plenty of the professional White, Black, and Slate Gray at the job site, they really went for it with some bolder choices. If you're rocking Woodland Green or Red Orange, you're definitely not getting lost in the parking lot. We also see classics like Silver Metallic and the rich Dark Carmine, proving that a truck can be a workhorse and a showpiece at the same time.

What to Watch For

Because these trucks have the surface area of a small studio apartment, they catch a lot of wind-and a lot of rocks. The most common battle scars are deep chips on the leading edge of that massive hood and "sandblasting" on the lower rocker panels. If your truck is a few years old, keep an eye on the roof and the center of the hood; Chevrolet paint from this era is known for clear coat "lifting" or peeling if it spends too much time baking in the sun. To find your specific color match, skip the door jamb-on these HD trucks, your paint code is hiding on a sticker inside the glove box. Look for a code starting with "WA" or listed next to "BC/CC."

Driveway Repair Tip

Since many of these colors-like Gold Metallic and Silver Metallic-are packed with tiny flakes, your first job is to shake that touch-up bottle like it owes you money. Shake it for a full 60 seconds to wake up the metallics; otherwise, the color will look "flat" once it dries. When filling those deep hood chips, don't try to fill the whole hole in one go. Use the tip of your brush to "dab" a tiny amount into the center of the chip and let it flow to the edges. It requires patience, but two thin layers will always look better than one big, gloppy mountain of paint that never levels out.
