I don't have access to the cars door panel pint code, I'd hate to pay to get into a scrap yard too look at a sticker, I'm looking for the paint code for a 2011 "silver ice metallic"

I've found this but it also comes up as "switchblade silver metallic" which appear darker. Also some of the paint codes have GAN in front and some have R at the end and some don't so I wanna make sure I get the code perfect, as it's on the hood very noticeable. Thanks for any input!!

I can tell you that the paint code for my Pull Me Over Red 2014 is the same paint color as a Red Hot Cruze. I would not be surprised if this were the case for the silver. At first I thought someone just made a mistake on my color description, but it is in the official Chevy documentation.


So far, like you, this is all I can find:

Blade Silver Metallic
Color Code: 17U/WA636R/GAN


Midnight Silver Metallic (wheel)
Color Code: WA263M

I did find a car dealer that lists it as Silver Ice Metallic.

I appreciate the search, my car and a touch up pen I got with it both said "silver ice metallic" I know GM has a million and a half silvers so I wanna make sure it's perfect being on the hood, it'll be so obvious if it's off a shade!
