Where to find Hummer color code

How to Find Your Hummer's Color Code

Hummer did not standardize the location of the color plate, so paint codes can be hard to locate. Across years they used many different spots. Usual places: the glove box or the spare tire well; if not there, it could be elsewhere. The code itself may appear as 51/WA316N, often preceded by BC/CC (e.g., BC/CC 51 or BC/CC 316N). Two tone labels can show as BC/CC U316N or BC/CC L316N (Upper Color and Lower Color).

Your Paint Color Profile

Black (matt)

The Look

This is the tactical finish that defined the final era of the brand. When your H2, H3, or H3T rolled off the line between 2008 and 2010, this color signaled a move away from chrome-heavy luxury toward a rugged, military-inspired aesthetic. It is a stealthy choice that eliminates the flashy reflections found on standard SUVs, giving your truck a heavy-duty, industrial appearance that matches its wide-track stance and off-road heritage.

Technical Details

This is a solid color without any metallic or pearl flakes hiding inside. Because it is a flat finish, it absorbs light rather than bouncing it back, which makes it very unforgiving during a repair. Unlike high-gloss paints that use a shiny clear coat to mask small errors, a matte finish shows every change in texture. If you apply the paint too heavily in one spot and too lightly in another, you will see a visible difference in the sheen.

Best Practices

Since your Hummer has likely faced years of trail brush or highway debris since it left the factory, the original finish has probably weathered significantly. Before you spray or dab Hummer Black (matt) (check for code WA848/WA8555), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. You will find this code on the Service Parts Identification sticker located inside your glove box. To keep the finish looking uniform, work in a cool area out of the sun and keep the container moving to avoid pooling. Always test the color on the included card first to ensure the darkness and flat texture match the aged paint on your panels.

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 Hummer Paint Code Guide for detailed instructions.

Will this paint match my car?

Yes. If your Hummer's color code is 'WA848/WA8555', your paint is custom-mixed to factory specs and backed by our Color Match Guarantee. If the paint does not match your Hummer, 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.
