Where To Find Your Paint Code
For the 2017 GMC Acadia, the paint code is located on the Service Parts Identification sticker. This sticker is typically found inside the glove box. Look for a code that starts with "BC/CC U" which stands for Base Coat/Clear Coat Upper. The actual paint code is the four-digit alphanumeric code that follows (e.g., GAZ or G1E).
Best Touch-Up Paint Sources
- Dupli-Color: Offers a wide range of popular colors in various applicators, from pens to spray cans.
- AutomotiveTouchup: Provides custom-mixed paints in all sizes, from small touch-up bottles to larger quantities for spray guns.
- Tcoat Custom-Mix: A great option for getting a precise match, especially for metallic and pearl finishes.
- GMC Dealership: Your local dealer can provide factory-original touch-up paint, ensuring a perfect match.
How To Use Touch-Up Paint
- Clean: Thoroughly clean the area with a wax and grease remover.
- Primer: Apply a thin layer of automotive primer to the scratch or chip.
- Base Coat: Apply the color-matched base coat in thin, even layers until the primer is no longer visible.
- Clear Coat: After the base coat has dried, apply a clear coat to protect the paint and restore the original gloss.
Color Matching Tips for Pearls and Tri-Coats
Colors like Crimson Red Tintcoat and White Frost Tricoat are three-stage finishes. This means they have a base coat, a mid-coat (pearl), and a clear coat. For a perfect match, it is crucial to apply all three stages in the correct order. Using a spray-out card to test your application technique is highly recommended to ensure the pearl effect matches the surrounding paint.
