Chevrolet Trailblazer Touch Up Paint (116 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Chevrolet really went for it with the Trailblazer, recording a staggering 115 colors over the years. We've seen everything from the reliable Pewter Metallic and Indigo Metallic of the early 2000s to the more adventurous modern era featuring Black Meet Kettle Pearl, Zanzibar Metallic, and the explosive Cherry Bomb Red Tricoat. Whether your Trailblazer is a classic highway cruiser or a modern subcompact, Chevy didn't just give you a color palette; they gave you a novel.

What to Watch For

Before you start dabbing, we need to find your "Social Security number" for paint. On older Trailblazers (2002-2009), head straight for the glove box and look for a silver or white sticker; the code usually starts with "WA" or "U." On the newer models, check the driver's side door jamb or under the cargo floor near the spare tire.

In terms of wear, these trucks are known for "sunburn" on the roof and hood, where the clear coat can get a little flaky if left in the driveway too long. You might also notice small bubbles or chips around the door handles or the front grill molding. Don't worry-this isn't a disaster; it's just the car showing its age, and it's nothing a steady hand can't improve.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since so many Trailblazer colors-like Blue Glo Pearl or Abalone White Tricoat-are packed with metallic flakes and "effects," your best friend is the 60-second shake. If you don't hear that little mixing ball rattling like a maraca for a full minute, those beautiful sparkles will stay stuck at the bottom of the bottle, and your touch-up will look flat.

When applying, think "less is more." Use the tip of the brush or pen to drop the paint into the chip rather than painting over it. If you're working with a Tricoat or a "Pearl" finish, it requires a little extra patience: apply your base color in a very thin layer, let it dry until it's no longer tacky, and then add your mid-coat. It's like building a sandwich-rushing the layers only leads to a mess!
