How to Find Your Chevrolet Cruze'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).

The Color Breakdown

Chevrolet recorded 115 colors for the Cruze, ranging from the business-casual Satin Steel Metallic to the surprisingly honest Tin Roof Rusted Metallic. They really went for it with the naming department-between Black Meet Kettle Pearl, Son Of A Gun Gray, and Unripened Green, it's like they let a moody poet name the palette. Whether you're driving a classic Summit White or a high-energy Crush orange, your Cruze has a lot of personality in its pigment.

What to Watch For

First things first: your paint code is playing hide-and-seek. While most cars keep their ID in the door jamb, the Cruze usually hides its "Service Parts Identification" sticker inside the glovebox. Look for a code starting with "BC/CC" followed by a four-digit string (like U8624).

In terms of durability, the factory clear coat on these can be a little sensitive, particularly on the hood and roof. You might also notice "pepper" chips-tiny little nicks-appearing on the rear quarter panels just behind the back doors. It's a high-impact zone for road debris, so catching those spots early with a touch-up pen is the best way to keep your panels looking smooth.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since the Cruze features a heavy rotation of "Metallic" and "Pearl" finishes, the secret is in the shake. Those tiny sparkles like to settle at the bottom of the bottle or pen. Shake your paint for a full 60 to 90 seconds before you start-it's a workout, but it ensures the color actually matches the car.

When you're applying the paint, remember that less is more. Instead of trying to fill a chip with one big glob, dab a tiny bit of paint into the center of the chip and let it flow to the edges. If the paint looks a little thin on the first pass, don't worry-some of these colors (especially the pearls) require patience and a second light layer to reach full strength.
