According to this product here (which is not cheap of course) it might be Satin Nickel metallic WA733J Not sure if it is for interior, exterior or both.

Amazon Amazon


Here is a picture I found of the color GM WA733J Satin Nickle Metallic on google :

You could probably go to your local body shop supply store and get a matching paint. There are 3 within 20 miles of me.

I will contact them.

I already ordered a rust-oleum satin nickel metallic spray for all surfaces for 40 bucks. There is nothing I can see available in Canada near me for cheaper at the moment. I think this will do. If it's 95% or more matching I think I will call it a day. Next I want to restore the bumper to brand new factory look. There is that rusty exhaust pipe also. Not sure yet what I will do with it.

Ain't she getting better. What I want to do is restore the exterior plastic, I was satisfied using Pledge but now I am seeking a more permanent solution. The mudguard is also faded. I don't know if all this was factory painted with WA8555 black ?

Satin Nickel metallic resprayed to the right, original to the left. Very close. But the new one has more sparkles in its color. But it works, tested inside the car and it is not causing any distraction.
