Where to find Chevrolet color code

How to Find Your Chevrolet's Color Code

Chevrolet did not make it easy to find the color code. Over the years they used many different locations and did not standardize the color plate, so it can be hard to locate. Usually it is in the glove box or the spare tire well; otherwise, the search may extend everywhere. The typical code is 51/WA316N, usually preceded by BC/CC. Two tone codes can appear as BC/CC U316N or BC/CC L316N (U for Upper, L for Lower).

Your Paint Color Profile

Cashmere Blue

The Look

This is the definitive shade of mid-century optimism. Released as a one-year-only option, this color defined the debut of the Impala and gave the 1958 Corvette a softer, more sophisticated presence compared to the aggressive reds of the era. On the road, it sits somewhere between a sky blue and a dusty pastel, capturing that specific 1950s aesthetic where cars looked more like rolling sculpture than mere transportation. Because your car has been around since the Eisenhower administration, the original finish has likely shifted toward a flatter or more chalky tone, so your goal is to bring back that creamy, factory-fresh depth.

Technical Details

This is a pigment-rich solid finish, meaning there are no metallic flakes or pearls to worry about. The lack of metal particles is a blessing for a DIY project because you do not have to worry about "tiger stripes" or uneven mottling that usually haunts silver or gold paints. However, solid blues are notorious for showing their age through oxidation. When you apply this color, it will likely look much more vibrant than the 65-year-old paint currently on your fenders. This is a standard characteristic of vintage pigments, and a light buffing of the surrounding original paint often helps the new Chevrolet Cashmere Blue (code 2690 (1958)) settle in without looking like a bright thumbprint.

Best Practices

To find your confirmation, look for the metal cowl tag located on the firewall inside the engine compartment. Before you start, shake your container for a full minute to ensure the heavy blue pigments are fully suspended. Test the color on the included card first to see how the new paint reacts to your existing finish. When you are ready to work, find a spot in your garage or a patch of deep shade to keep the surface cool. Keep the container moving at a steady pace to prevent the paint from pooling in the low spots of those iconic 1958 body lines. Give the area plenty of drying time before you think about touching it, as these older-style colors need a moment to reach their full hardness.

Will absolutely order from this company again.

After ordering touch-up paint from Lexus I was still waiting for it a month later. If they'd told me upfront it would take that long I wouldn't have ordered in the first place. Paint Scratch was recommended by a friend who restores cars. Easy ordering, fair price and fast shipping. The color match is great especially considering my car is a 2012. Will absolutely order from this company again. Reason I chose this business: Lexus collision repair and a local collision repair. Will use paint less dent removal and touch up chipped paint myself. Reason I chose this product: Spouse sideswiped passenger side of car while backing out of garage. Mostly plastic transfer from his wheel well trim but pressure creased and cracked the paint causing a bare strip 1/8 wide x 4” long below door handle. Scratches on door handle and a few small chips on both doors.

Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans

Used Paint Scratch metallic custom mixed spray cans paint on a hood panel with excellent coverage and texture over the surface. Metallic paint can be very unforgiving out of a spray can, sputtering pigmentation dots on the panel being sprayed and thus ruining the paint job. No such issues with Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint spray cans. Paint sprayed strong and evenly till the last drop of paint in the can. Shipping time was faster than expected. Reason I chose this business: Having tried other brands of custom mixed metallic paint with terrible results, sputtering pigmentation tint dots from the spray nozzle in spite of vigorously shaking of can prior to application and loss of propellant rendering the lower fifth of the can's paint useless, Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint sprays out beautifully and strong all the way to the last gram of paint in the can. Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans for automotive restoration. Thank you Paint Scratch.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find my vehicle’s paint code?

Your paint code is usually found in the driver’s door jamb, trunk, or under the hood. See our Chevrolet Paint Code Guide for detailed instructions.

Will this paint match my car?

Because your Chevrolet is older or uncommon, the most accurate option is custom matching where you mail in a small painted part for a hand match. Our paint technicians usually do a great job matching Chevrolet color code '2690 (1958)' but a perfect match cannot be guaranteed.

Do I need primer and clearcoat?

While primer is recommended on bare metal or plastic, clearcoat is essential: it protects the basecoat and restores factory gloss.

How long does shipping take?

Orders are mixed fresh and ship within 3–5 business days. Delivery takes 2–14 days depending on location.

Which touch up product should I choose?

 It depends on the size of the damage:

  • Paint Pen (½ oz) – Best for very small chips and fine scratches.
  • Brush Bottle (2 oz) – Great for medium chips or scratches up to the size of a quarter.
  • Spray Can – Ideal for larger areas and panels.
  • Professional Sizes (Pint, Quart, Gallon) – Designed for full panel and vehicle resprays using spray equipment.

Not sure? If it’s just rock chips or small scratches, start with a Paint Pen.

Can I return my order?

Yes! If there’s a color match issue, we’ll replace the product or give you your money back. You also can return unopened, non-custom accessories for a full refund.

How long will the paint last in storage?

Paint pens and bottles last about a year if stored cool and dry. Spray cans can last several years if the nozzle is cleaned.
