Where To Find Your Paint Code
The paint code for your 2021 Chevrolet Equinox is located on the Service Parts Identification sticker. This sticker is typically found in the glove box. The paint code is listed next to "BC/CC" (Basecoat/Clearcoat), and will be a three-digit code that may start with "WA".
Best Touch-up Paint Sources
- Dupli-Color: Dupli-Color offers a wide range of touch-up paint products, including pens, bottles, and aerosol cans. You can find Dupli-Color products at most auto parts stores.
- AutomotiveTouchup: AutomotiveTouchup is an online retailer that specializes in custom-mixed touch-up paint. They can mix paint to match your specific paint code, and they offer a variety of applicators.
- T-Coat Custom-Mix: T-Coat is another online retailer that offers custom-mixed touch-up paint. They have a good reputation for color accuracy.
- Dealer: Your local Chevrolet dealer can also provide you with touch-up paint. This is a good option if you want to be sure you are getting an exact match.
How To Use Touch-up Paint
- Clean the area: Make sure the area you are going to paint is clean and free of dirt, grease, and wax.
- Apply primer: If you are painting over bare metal, you will need to apply a coat of primer first. This will help the paint adhere to the metal and prevent rust.
- Apply basecoat: Apply the basecoat in thin, even coats. Allow each coat to dry completely before applying the next.
- Apply clearcoat: The clearcoat will protect the basecoat and give it a glossy finish. Apply the clearcoat in thin, even coats, and allow each coat to dry completely.
Color Matching Tips For Pearls And Tri-Coats
- Pearls and tri-coats can be difficult to match. This is because the color can vary depending on the angle of the light.
- It is best to have a professional match these colors. If you are not comfortable matching the color yourself, it is best to take your car to a professional body shop.
- If you do decide to match the color yourself, be sure to use a high-quality touch-up paint. You may also want to practice on a small, inconspicuous area first.
