I’ve had my 2017 Silverado in Graphite Metallic for about 3 years now, and I can say the paint has held up remarkably well! It resists scratches and doesn’t show dirt easily.

That’s good to hear! I was worried about fading since I live in a sunny area. Any tips for maintenance to keep it looking fresh?

I usually wash it every two weeks and use a good wax to protect the finish. Graphite Metallic really shines post-waxing! No fading for me yet.

Good tips! I’ve noticed some small scratches, but nothing too severe. I guess the metallic finish does help in hiding minor imperfections.

I’ve had a few scratches from branches, but buffing them out with a good compound worked wonders! No fading yet, but I park it in the garage most of the time.

7

That’s a smart move. I love the color, but sometimes worried it might chip easily. Have you ever had any issues with that?

8

I think the Graphite Metallic is pretty durable overall. Just keep it waxed and you’ll be fine! Also, try to avoid automatic car washes as they can cause swirl marks.

Interesting point! I’ve always used hand washes. Graphite is such a sleek color, it deserves that extra care!

10

Exactly! It’s like a great pair of shoes; you want to keep them looking nice. I’ve seen some paint chips on my buddy’s that he never maintains.

That’s a shame! I wouldn’t want my truck looking like that. How do you think the Graphite compares to other colors in terms of durability?

Honestly, I think all the colors have their quirks, but the Graphite definitely feels more resilient. After all the compliments, I’d say it’s worth it!

13

Absolutely! I think the color also helps hide minor dirt; I never have to clean it as often.

14

That’s true! But doesn’t it get frustrating when people ask if you’ve washed it just because it’s a darker color? I feel like it should be more forgiving!

15

Haha! Right? I tell them it’s Graphite Metallic, not magic! But really, it does seem more durable than my old truck’s paint.

16

Lol! I can relate! The finish is nice, but at least I’m not frequently touching up paint chips.

17

That’s the beauty of Graphite! All in all, regular maintenance like wax and careful washing works wonders for protecting the paint. You’ll love how well it lasts!

18

I’ve had my 2017 Silverado in Graphite Metallic for a while now, and I absolutely love the color. It gives the truck a sleek and sophisticated look compared to some of the brighter colors available.

19

I totally agree! Graphite Metallic really makes the vehicle stand out without being too flashy. It’s classy!

In my opinion, the Graphite Metallic finish has a nice balance. It’s not as common as black or gray but still has that premium feel. How do you guys think it holds up against colors like Deep Ocean Blue?
