2023 GMC Yukon Paint Codes

Quick reference

Where to find your paint code

For the 2023 GMC Yukon, the paint code is located on the Service Parts Identification sticker. This sticker is typically found in the glove box. In some cases, it may be on the driver's side door jamb. Look for a code that starts with "WA" or "BC/CC" (Basecoat/Clearcoat), usually near the bottom of the sticker. This code is the key to getting an exact match for your Yukon's paint.

Best touch-up paint sources

• Dupli-Color: Offers a wide range of off-the-shelf colors, but may not have an exact match for all 2023 Yukon colors. Check their online catalog for availability.
• AutomotiveTouchup: A popular online retailer that offers custom-mixed paint in pens, bottles, and aerosol cans, ensuring a precise match to your factory color.
• Tcoat custom-mix: Many local automotive paint suppliers can custom-mix paint for you, providing a high-quality match, especially for tri-coats and pearls.
• Dealer: Your local GMC dealer can provide you with touch-up paint that is guaranteed to match your vehicle's color.

How to use touch-up paint

1. Clean: Thoroughly clean the area to be repaired 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 new paint adhere properly.
3. Base: Apply the base color coat in thin, even layers. Allow each layer to dry completely before applying the next.
4. Clear: Apply a clear coat to protect the new paint and give it a glossy finish that matches the rest of your vehicle.

Color matching tips for pearls and tri-coats

Pearl and tri-coat finishes, such as the White Frost Tricoat, can be tricky to match. These finishes have a multi-layer application process from the factory, which can be difficult to replicate with a simple touch-up. For a seamless repair on these colors, it is often best to consult a professional body shop.
