Locate Paint Code for GMC
The paint code for GMC is typically found in the glove box. Otherwise it will most likely be on the driver side door jamb or under the left side of the driver seat or on the rear side pillar of the passenger door. As a last resort, take a look at the passenger sun visor, the side wall of the cab or behind the passenger seat.
The GMC paint code is composed of a string of letters and numbers that you can see after the “BC/CC” indication. In case you have a two-toned model, the paint code for the upper body will be after the “U” and the lower body color or bumper color will be after the “L”.
GMC Paint Code Examples: 75/WA8980, GWY/WA106V, WA9967, NR6, WU, YB

The GMC Canyon mid-size pickup truck is related to the Colorado and the GMC Acadia mid-size SUV is loosely related to the Blazer. The GMC Yukon and Yukon XL full-size SUVs are based on the Tahoe and Suburban, respectively. Meanwhile, GMC’s Sierra full-size pickup trucks are based on the Chevrolet Silverado.

To create the best looking results for your vehicle, we include the following materials to help you achieve the best results in fixing your damage. That’s so that you produce a professional looking job with the right tone and shine as intended for your specific paint code.

PRIMER, COLOR, AND CLEARCOAT
Naturally, you need precisely mixed colored paint to do a touch up paint job. But, you also need other materials. Specifically, primer is required for damage that has reached the original base material. Also, clearcoat is required to produce a thin protective layer for your paint job once dried.
WAX AND GREASE REMOVER CLOTH
Additionally, the wax and grease remover cloths remove wax, grease, and contaminants before painting.
SANDPAPER
Don’t forget that wet-sanding the affected area prior to painting removes rust and prepares the surface with a rough finish so the paint can stick better.
POLISHING COMPOUND
And finally, the polishing compound smooths everything out with to factory-grade finish.
