Paint Color?


Recommended Posts

Posted

I've got a NBS 99' Silverado and I'm having trouble finding out what color paint my truck has - I'm looking for touch up paint.

 

I've read to look in the glove box for a code ending in 'u'. I see an R9U in there, but cannot find anything on that.

 

 

The VIN is2GCEK19T0X1133486

 

 

 

 

Any help would be great.

 

 

 

 

Thanks,

 

 

 

Pete

The best bet is going to a body shop and have them color match your ride, and put it in a touch up bottle. For each color, there is a giant fan book of slightly different colors. I've never had a general purpose touch up paint ever match (unless it's black or white).

the color codes are at the very bottom of the rpo list..................

 

 

BC/CC ????

 

This 4 digit code it the only number you should use for getting touchup paint. The others are just marketing codes/color names.

HOWTO USE THE GMVEHICLE CARE TOUCH-UP PAINT CHARTS

Touch-up paint tubes and spray cans are consolidated into charts by model year, then by body style.

 

The touch-up paints are listed by the WA (four digit) code. This code is the proper method for

 

choosing paint. While there may be more paint colors with identical GM (two digit) codes, each

 

paint color has only one specific WA code.
