Does anyone know or can confirm paint codes if Chevy Deep Ocean Blu and GM Sacre Blue Metallic are the same paint color?

 

i have a 17 Deep Ocean Silverago and need to get a bumper due to a hit and run.  Found a "take off" in stellar condition but its a 15 Sierra Sacre Blue Metallic.  They look identical from pics and would think the Sierra is same as Silverado..

 

thx

The GMC color is Stone Blue.  It is very close to deep ocean blue, but I think it is slightly different.

interesting I found the color on GM's parts website and oddly they dont list Deep Ocean for any silverado color.

Why do you think yours is Deep Ocean - is there some color code you're referencing or was it listed as such on the Monroney sticker?  G1K is the color code for Deep Ocean Blue on 2017 Silverado and G1K is the color code for Stone Blue on 2015 Sierra.

Yes. My window sticker says deep ocean blue and sure paid the extra money for it :-)

 

So so this is interesting. I called my dealers parts and he looked up vin and said it does pull up as Sacre Blue as the “ official internal GM name” but deep ocean is the marketing name for the color for my truck. 

 

Think I'm confident the bumper is same color unless anyone else has some info past what Chevy just told me.

Rear bumpers should be the same as long as it's a 14+ bumpers.

Thank you. It is rear. 

 

I confirmed thst Sacre Blue is deep ocean, GMs internal name apparently. This was per the parts Dept and my touch up paint code matched Sacre Blue. also looked at the back of mine on the truck and sure enough there is a label with part code and right under it says Sacre Blue. Mystery solved.

I work at a PPG automotive paint store and we deal with this all the time. Color names are so subjective and misleading thus why we put emphasis on getting the proper paint code, not name. WA409Y is your paint code and it's located in the glove box. Just as you discovered though, it's all the same color, Sacre Blue. Yet when it's on a Sierra it becomes Stone Blue, a Silverado it becomes Deep Ocean Blue, etc. At the end of the day they are all OEM code WA409Y.

GM order guide calls WA-409Y the 'Touch-up paint number"

They call G1K the 'Colour code'.  G1K  rpo code will be on the glove box sticker.

 

Chev G1K is called Deep Ocean Blue Metallic

GMC G1K is called Stone Blue Metallic

 

I owned both  2015 and 2016 sierra's that were G1K, so it was the blue used both years. 

 

Sometimes GM makes slight changes to a colour year to year and issues a new code.

G1K is still being used by both divisions for 2018.

WA409Y and G1K are both acceptable in the paint world and will get you the proper color. They are also both found on the sticker in the glove box. The WA number can be marked in several variances such as 409Y, u409Y, L409Y (U-meaning upper body color, L-lower body color)

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      If all oil manufacturers had to meet a higher standard for not just the initial filtering of the oil but that they had to improve on their formulation so that the oil cleaned the engine such as the Valvoline R&P or the new Mobil product ( assuming it works similar of course ), and the oil was changed on an interval based on good UOA data, there shouldn't be any gremlins running around like miniture rats on top of your heads to be washed down into the oil pan below 😁

      A while back on another thread there were comments and thoughts on air filters and I know that can tend to be a bit of a hot topic because of outfits that have a vested interest in selling aftermarket air boxes fitted with the gauze type of oiled elements touting the lower air restriction. However and unfortunately I don't know where I have seen the test results in the past about the amount of dirt through a test procedure that these style of filters do pass more dirt through than a properly designed ( not some cheap Chinese knock off ) paper/synesthetic media filter can do. Lake Speed had a conversation on that topic with one of the employees at Donaldson and there seemed to be a consensus of these oiled filters falling short in the absolute percentage of dirt holdback.    Which all ties back into how good the air filter is on the engine at keeping dirt out as that is going to reflect as a contaminant introduced into the oil as well as cylinder wear even if some of that dirt does find its way out of the exhaust rather then the crank case. Put another way that one can throw the kitchen sink at filtering the oil and using a bypass system which I fully expect will do nothing but good for the oils contamination but if the air filter system isn't doing its job then its preventing the engine from reaching the best wear/lasting case scenario instead.    Now perhaps this topic is or isn't for this particular thread but Grumpy Bear or anyone else for that matter, do you have access to some scientific trust worthy testing on engine air filter types to get some proper comparison data to post up.

      WOW, something we agreed on. I only bought at sticker twice. A 94 impala ss and an Acura intagra type r. Made money on the first. Still have the second.

      I prefer new, but not without a deal. Historically I've bought severely aged new inventory, leftover model year, unpopular configuration kind of stuff that sits around on dealer lots until they just want it gone. $10k off MSRP kind of stuff on a mid-priced truck. That really, really helps knock down that first year depreciation. It also requires being somewhat flexible on colors and options. I wouldn't buy a 4 cylinder if I was looking for an 8 cylinder, but if I got blue paint instead of black, or a great deal was lacking a minor option, I'm willing to overlook those things for savings.   Used <> used. Condition and history are everything. If I'm buying used I'm looking for cream of the crop. The truck from the guy who religiously pampers it, and then decides a year later he wants newer and nicer. NOT the ex-rental vehicle, or the crew cab traded in by the family with 7 kids who like to throw food, and the oil only got changed when there was time long after the oil life monitor started alerting.
