2025 Chevrolet Equinox Paint Colors & Codes

Quick Reference

Where to Find Your Paint Code

Your 2025 Chevrolet Equinox's paint code is located on the Service Parts Identification sticker. This sticker is typically found in one of two places:

1. Inside the glove box: Open the glove box and look for a silver or white sticker on the inside of the door or on the side of the glove box compartment.
2. On the driver's side B-pillar: Open the driver's door and look on the pillar just behind the driver's seat. The sticker will be visible when the door is open.

The paint code is usually preceded by "BC/CC" (Basecoat/Clearcoat) and is a three or four-digit alphanumeric code. For example, Summit White is "GAZ".

Best Touch-up Paint Sources

• AutomotiveTouchup: Provides custom-mixed touch-up paint in various sizes, from small bottles to larger spray cans and even professional-sized containers. They can mix paint to match your specific paint code.
• T-Coat Custom Mix: A great option for a precise match, especially for older or less common colors. They can mix paint based on your VIN to ensure a perfect match.
• Dealership: Your local Chevrolet dealership can provide you with factory-original touch-up paint. This is often the most expensive option, but it guarantees a perfect match.

How to Use Touch-up Paint

1. Clean the area: Wash the chipped or scratched area with soap and water, then dry it thoroughly. Use a wax and grease remover to ensure the surface is perfectly clean.
2. Apply primer: If the chip or scratch is deep and has exposed bare metal, apply a thin layer of automotive primer to the area. This will help the paint adhere properly and prevent rust.
3. Apply the base coat: Shake the touch-up paint well and apply a thin, even layer of the base coat to the primed area. Allow it to dry completely before applying a second coat if necessary.
4. Apply the clear coat: Once the base coat is dry, apply a thin layer of clear coat to protect the paint and give it a glossy finish. Allow the clear coat to dry completely before waxing or polishing the area.

Color Matching Tips for Pearls and Tri-Coats

Pearl and tri-coat paints, like Iridescent Pearl Tricoat (G1W) and Radiant Red Tintcoat (GNT), can be more challenging to match. These paints have a mid-coat that contains the pearl or metallic flakes, which gives them their depth and iridescence. When touching up these colors, it is essential to apply the mid-coat evenly to achieve a seamless blend. It is often best to use a spray can or a professional spray gun for larger repairs to ensure an even application of the pearl or metallic flakes. For smaller chips, a fine-tipped brush and a steady hand are key.
