Where to find AMC color code

How to Find Your 1957 AMC's Color Code

AMC paint codes are hidden on top of the radiator support; engine grease and oil often make them impossible to read. Typical format is BS/GBS; only the BS portion is the color code. It can also appear as QBS, PBS, TBS, etc. The first letter is the Year Code, which makes color codes confusing. BS corresponds to Deep Water Blue Pearl Clearcoat. The G in GBS is not part of the color code. Lately AMC lists codes as BS. AMC has many two tone combos on some cars and often omitted the secondary color information.

1957 AMC Background Info

The 1957 AMC Vibe

Welcome to 1957, the year American Motors decided to stop following the pack and started leading the "compact" revolution. While the Big Three were busy gluing massive fins onto everything that moved, Kenosha was busy cranking out the Rambler Rebel-a four-door sleeper that could outrun almost anything on the road except a fuel-injected 'Vette. Whether you're working on a Rebel, a Nash Ambassador, or a classic Rambler, we've focused on the survivors that still turn heads at the local diner, specifically the high-impact Caribbean Blue and Mardi Gras Red.

Paint Health Check

We are deep in the Single Stage Era here, kid. Back then, paint didn't have a clear coat safety net; it was one thick layer of enamel or lacquer doing all the heavy lifting. The legend says this stuff is bulletproof, but the reality is that without a clear layer on top, your pigment is a sitting duck for the sun. If your AMC's finish looks hazy or feels like a chalkboard, you're looking at "Chalky Fade"-pure oxidation. Your paint is literally drying out and turning to dust because it's starving for protection.

Restoration Tip

If that Mardi Gras Red has started to look more like a dusty pink, don't panic-it just needs some elbow grease. You've got to cut through that oxidized "dead skin" with a heavy polishing compound to reveal the vibrant color hiding underneath. But listen close to the golden rule for 1957 iron: It needs wax or it dies. Once you've buffed it back to a shine, you have to seal those pores with a heavy wax immediately or the oxidation will be back before your next oil change.
