Chevrolet SS Touch Up Paint (26 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

The Chevrolet SS is the ultimate "sleeper" sedan, but its paint colors are anything but quiet. With 26 colors recorded across its short run, they really went for it with the names. You might be holding a bottle of Regal Peacock Pearl, Light My Fire Pearl, or the hilariously named Black Meet Kettle Pearl. If you aren't rocking one of those wild shades, you're likely in one of the "50 shades of gray" like Son Of A Gun Gray or Slipstream Metallic. Whether your car is a subtle silver or a vibrant purple, these factory finishes were designed to pop under the sun.

What to Watch For

The SS was built by Holden in Australia and imported with love, but the clear coat is notoriously "soft." This means the front bumper and hood are absolute magnets for rock chips. If you've noticed little white speckles on your nose after a highway drive, don't worry-it's the most common "SS tax." To find your specific color code, don't bother looking in the glove box like a standard Chevy. On this car, the Service Parts Identification sticker is usually hiding in the trunk (boot) area. Check the side walls of the trunk or lift the carpet to peek near the spare tire. You're looking for a code that starts with "WA" or "U" followed by a four-digit string.

Driveway Repair Tip

Because so many of these colors are high-end pearls or metallics (like Limited Addiction Pearl), the "secret sauce" is in the shake. Those tiny metallic flakes like to settle at the bottom of your touch-up bottle or pen. Shake that bottle for a full two minutes-even if your arm gets tired-to wake up the sparkles. When you apply the paint, think "thin and patient." These deep colors require patience; it's much better to apply three paper-thin layers than one big, thick blob. If you're working on a vertical surface like a door, less is more so the paint doesn't try to make a run for it.
