    Where To Find Your Paint Code

    For the 2017 GMC Sierra 1500, the paint code is located on the Service Parts Identification sticker. You will find this sticker inside the glove box. The code is typically listed next to "BC/CC" (Basecoat/Clearcoat) and will be a three-digit alphanumeric code starting with "WA" or "G". For example, Summit White is "GAZ".

    Best Touch-Up Paint Sources

    • Dupli-Color: Offers a wide range of popular colors in easy-to-use applicators like pens and aerosol sprays.
    • AutomotiveTouchup: Provides custom-mixed paints in various sizes, from small touch-up bottles to larger quantities for spray guns.
    • Tcoat custom-mix: A great option for 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

    1. Clean: Thoroughly clean the area with soap and water, then use a wax and grease remover.
    2. Primer: Apply a thin layer of automotive primer to the scratch or chip. This helps the base coat adhere properly.
    3. Base Coat: Apply thin, even coats of the colored base coat, allowing each coat to dry before applying the next.
    4. Clear Coat: Finish with a clear coat to protect the paint and provide a glossy finish.

    Color Matching Tips for Pearls and Tri-Coats

    Pearl and tri-coat finishes, like Red Quartz Tintcoat and White Frost Tricoat, require a multi-step process. They use a base color and a mid-coat of pearl or mica to create depth and shimmer. For a successful repair, it is crucial to apply the base and mid-coats in the correct sequence and thickness. It is highly recommended to use a test card to practice and ensure the color matches before applying to the vehicle.
