Where to find AMC color code

How to Find Your 1958 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.

1958 AMC Background Info

The 1958 AMC Vibe

Back in 1958, George Romney was busy leading American Motors in a crusade against the "gas-guzzling dinosaurs" of the Big Three. While everyone else was adding more tailfins, AMC was perfecting the "compact" long before it was cool. Whether you were piloting a Rambler American or the top-of-the-line Ambassador, you were driving a piece of suburban rebellion. We've focused our collection on the true survivors of this era, the hues that defined the 1958 landscape: the breezy Light Aqua, the tropical Caribbean Blue, and the punchy, festive Mardi Gras Red. These weren't just colors; they were a statement that you didn't need twenty feet of steel to have a good time.

Paint Health Check

You're looking at the prime of the Single Stage Era. In 1958, AMC was using "Lustre-Finish" baked enamels-thick, honest paint that wasn't hidden under a clear plastic shell. The good news? There's a lot of pigment to work with. The bad news? If your AMC hasn't seen a garage since the Eisenhower administration, that paint is "breathing" and it's thirsty. After sixty-plus years, these finishes suffer from heavy oxidation. If you rub your hand across the hood and it comes away looking like you just touched a piece of sidewalk chalk, that's your finish literally turning into powder. It's not dead yet, but it's definitely gasping for air.

Restoration Tip

When you're dealing with 1950s single-stage enamel, remember the Golden Rule: it needs wax or it dies. Because there's no clear coat to protect the pigment, the sun and oxygen are constantly trying to turn your Mardi Gras Red into a dull pink. To bring it back, you'll need a careful machine polish to cut through that chalky surface and reveal the vibrant color buried underneath. But once you find that shine, you have to seal the deal immediately. Use a high-quality carnauba wax or a proper solvent-based sealant to lock the air out. If you leave that fresh pigment exposed without a protective barrier, it'll go back to being a chalkboard before the next oil change.
