Keeping your 2024 GMC Yukon looking showroom-fresh means knowing your exact factory paint code. Whether you are dealing with a minor scratch from a parking lot, rock chips from highway driving, or planning a larger body repair, getting the color match perfect is crucial.

Below is your comprehensive paint code reference for the 2024 GMC Yukon, along with a guide on how to locate your vehicle's specific code and properly apply touch-up paint.

Quick reference

Here are the factory paint colors offered for the 2024 GMC Yukon. When buying paint, note that General Motors codes often start with a "WA" prefix (e.g., WA8555 for Onyx Black), though they are commonly referred to by their three-digit RPO code (e.g., GBA).

Color Name	Paint Code (RPO / WA)	Type (Solid / Metallic / Pearl)
Summit White	GAZ / WA8624	Solid
Onyx Black	GBA / WA8555	Solid
Sterling Metallic	GXD / WA130H	Metallic
Titanium Rush Metallic	G6M / WA118H	Metallic
Frosted Pine Metallic	G6N / WA119H	Metallic
Midnight Blue Metallic	GLU / WA328E	Metallic
Volcanic Red Tintcoat	GNT / WA170H	Pearl/Tintcoat
White Frost Tricoat	G1W / WA140X	Tricoat / Pearl
Downpour Metallic	GXP / WA136H	Metallic

Note: Always confirm your exact paint code via your vehicle's VIN at a GMC dealer or your trusted paint supplier before ordering materials.

Where to find your paint code

General Motors has updated how they display paint codes on modern vehicles. For the 2024 GMC Yukon, finding your paint code is straightforward:

1. Driver’s Side Door Jamb (B-Pillar): Open the driver's door and look at the B-pillar (the vertical pillar behind the door). You will find a silver or black certification label.
2. The QR Code Sticker: On modern GMCs, the traditional Service Parts Identification (SPID) sticker in the glove box has been replaced. Instead, look for a QR code label on the driver's door jamb. Scanning this QR code with your smartphone will display your vehicle's manufacturing data, including the paint code (look for the "BC/CC" or "WA" number).
3. Bottom of the Door Sticker: Sometimes, the "WA" paint code is printed directly at the very bottom of the tire/loading information label on the door jamb.

If the sticker is damaged or unreadable, any GMC dealership parts department can look up your exact paint code using your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN).

Best touch-up paint sources

When it's time to purchase your paint, you have several reliable options:

• Your Local GMC Dealer: Purchasing an OEM touch-up pen or brush bottle directly from the dealership ensures a perfect factory match, especially for standard solids and metallics.
• AutomotiveTouchup: Highly recommended for larger repairs. They offer perfectly mixed spray cans, paint pens, and ready-to-spray pints/quarts based on your exact GM WA-code.
• Dupli-Color: A great, accessible option for standard colors like Summit White or Onyx Black. You can find their Exact-Match pens and aerosols at most local auto parts stores.
• Tcoat Custom-Mix: Excellent for ordering highly accurate, custom-mixed batches for difficult metallic and tricoat matches.

How to use touch-up paint

For a durable, invisible repair, follow these steps:

1. Clean: Thoroughly wash the area with soap and water. Follow up with a wax and grease remover or rubbing alcohol to ensure no contaminants prevent paint adhesion.
2. Primer: If the scratch goes down to the bare metal or plastic, apply a light coat of automotive primer. Let it dry completely.
3. Base Coat: Apply the color coat in light, thin layers. Do not glob the paint on. If using a pen or brush, dab lightly into the chip. Allow 15–20 minutes of drying time between each coat until the color covers the primer entirely.
4. Clear Coat: The base coat will dry dull. Once the final base coat has cured (usually after 30-60 minutes), apply the clear coat. The clear coat provides the UV protection and the glossy finish that matches the rest of your Yukon.

Color matching tips for pearls and tri-coats

Colors like White Frost Tricoat (G1W) and Volcanic Red Tintcoat (GNT) require a bit more finesse. Tricoats consist of three distinct layers: a solid base coat, a translucent pearl/tint mid-coat, and a protective clear coat.

When touching up a tricoat:

• Practice first: Use a piece of scrap metal or glossy cardboard to practice your application. The final color depends entirely on how many layers of the translucent mid-coat you apply.
• Apply the mid-coat sparingly: Apply the base coat until opaque. Then, apply one light layer of the pearl mid-coat. Let it dry and check the color match. Apply additional mid-coats only if the color needs to be deeper or more pearlescent.
• Blend carefully: For spray applications, blending the edges of a tricoat into the surrounding panel is critical to avoid a "halo" effect.

If a scratch is too deep or covers a large area, DIY tricoat repairs can be very difficult to get right.
