Well it finally happened my 6 month old 2015 Silvy got nicked by a rock on the road or by a door in a parking lot. It has a small scratched area on the passenger door on the driver side. I just tried to find touch up paint on line to see if I can do the touch up myself. So far no luck in finding Slate Gray touch up paint. Anyone order any? Where did you find it? Did it match the color to your satisfaction? Thanks for any guidance, recommendations.

Bought mine(Orange Metallic) for $15 at a nearby GMC dealership. Unless its really really small, filling the spot with touchup paint will be a touch different from the rest of the paint. Overall im satisfied but it doesnt match 100% with big spots.

Don't need VIN. Just need the paint code.

 

2015 Slate Grey Metallic is G1C, and the touch up paint code is WA-402Y.

I already looked at their website, but it did not list Slate Gray as one of the options for the Silverado. I will grant you that I had not looked it up by using my paint code from my paperwork , but was disappointed that they did not have it already listed as a color option.

From my experience both dealers wanted the VIN in order to see if it was in stock or order it. They wouldnt take the paint code only.

I've always been able to get it by giving them the paint code (but they don't want the paint 'name' as the different divisions use different names for the same paint code).

 

Example - Chevy calls G1C Slate Grey Metallic

GMC calls G1C Light Steel Gray Metallic

When I went in to get mine I took a pic of the spid label on my phone so I had the paint code. I told the guy I had it and he still needed the VIN. I had my insurance card with me so I gave him the VIN. Different dealers have different policies I guess?

      Help purchasing a touch screen digitizer

      By mark249 · Posted

      Brought my 2015 Colorado into the dealership to check my touch screen issues, had that ghost touch thing happening. They said I needed a new touch screen and they could either order me one for $500. The lady at the service deck was nice enough to tell me I could order a touch screen online for less, she did stipulate that the touch screen had to be factory OEM, you can't pair an aftermarket screen to my radio seeing it was 2015, it had to be a GM factory OEM only. I found a few on Amazon and Ebay by the numbers on the back of the old screen, DJ080PA-01A GM# 22740886, Some said "OEM" in the description and others just said "Replacement". Would a replacement be the same as a OEM as long as it had the same numbers on the back of the screen? In some of the descriptions they also show different brand names but same numbers, is that an issue?

      I have both but typically use the 4 legged walker (wheels on front, ski's on back).   The four wheeler is starting to be used on "longer" outdoor walks.  The 4 legged walker is particularly helpful in practicing good walking posture.  Both of my knees are at different stages of recovery and I'm trying to not develop poor habits.  I can actually manage with a cane but it's very difficult not to favor one leg over the other.  My PT recommends I continue with my 4 legged walker for a while.  Yesterday was four weeks since my last knee replacement and I'm excited about my progress to date.  It has been a hell of a rough journey so far but it is exciting to witness  systematic and continuous improvement.  I went for years watching the decline of my "mobility".  It seems that everyday now I am alerting my wife to something I can do now that I couldn't a day or two ago!  I encourage anyone facing the prospect of knee replacement to share any concerns with others who have had the surgery.  It isn't an instant fix but rather is a considerable amount of short term pain for long term gain.  Recovery time and pain levels vary for individuals post surgery but the end results are typically very positive and I've never encountered anyone regretting having had the surgery.

      The lifter issue can be dealt with by shorter oil changes and quality oil IMO.

      Wiring Help, Please

      By Core-Lokt · Posted

      I'm putting in an A-pillar pod/gauges, and I'm asking if anybody can identify a (preferably) fuse for a switched power and illumination circuit on the driver's side interior fuse panel. Offhand, everything I checked with a test light was constant-hot, and I'd much rather uses a piggyback fuse. I can certainly find a wire, but I'd rather not half-tap.   Thanks in advance for any help.
