Where to find GMC color code

How to Find Your GMC's Color Code

GMC placed paint codes in many different locations, making them difficult to find, and GM did not standardize the color plate location across makes and models. Codes are often found in the glove box or the spare tire well; otherwise they could be elsewhere. Typical format: 51/WA316N, usually preceded by BC/CC (e.g., BC/CC 51 or BC/CC 316N). Two-tone entries may use U or L for Upper or Lower (e.g., BC/CC U316N or BC/CC L316N).

Your Paint Color Profile

Abalone White Tricoat

The Look

You chose one of the most sophisticated finishes in the modern GMC catalog. Whether it is coating the broad shoulders of a Sierra or the lines of an Acadia, this color represents the premium end of the spectrum. Unlike a standard fleet white, this shade possesses a deep, luminous glow that shifts when the sun hits the body panels. It makes a Canyon look more expensive and gives the Savana a cleaner, more professional appearance. Since your vehicle has likely been through a few seasons of road salt or sun, you might notice the original finish has a depth that a simple solid white cannot match.

Technical Details

This is a pearl finish, which means it is a tri-coat system. This is the most complex type of paint to repair because it relies on three distinct layers to create that glowing effect. You have a solid base, a translucent pearl middle layer, and a clear top layer. The middle layer is the tricky part. If you apply the pearl layer too heavily, the repair will look cream-colored or yellow compared to the rest of the truck. If you apply it too thin, the spot will look like flat, dull white. Because of those pearl particles, the finish can look different from various angles if the flakes do not lay down evenly.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab GMC Abalone White Tricoat (check for code WA140X/WA472B/WA485B), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. You can usually find this code on the silver Service Parts Identification sticker inside your glovebox or on the driver side door jamb. Because the pearl particles settle quickly, you must keep the container moving throughout the entire process to ensure the color remains consistent. Work in the shade to prevent the paint from drying too fast. Test the color on the included card first to see how many layers of the pearl mid-coat you need to reach a perfect match. Once you are happy with the depth, apply your clear coat to seal the repair and bring out that factory shine. Give each layer plenty of drying time before moving to the next step.

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 GMC Paint Code Guide for detailed instructions.

Will this paint match my car?

Yes. If your GMC's color code is 'WA140X/WA472B/WA485B', your paint is custom-mixed to factory specs and backed by our Color Match Guarantee. If the paint does not match your GMC, we will send you a replacement or refund.

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.
