2007 GMC Touch Up Paint (60 OEM Colors)

The 2007 GMC Vibe

2007 was a pivot point for GMC. You had the birth of the first Acadia, the heavy-hitting Sierra on the new GMT900 platform, and the Yukon Denali finally looking like a proper executive suite on wheels. We've got 60 colors in our database for this year, and man, they were trying everything. From the high-brow White Diamond Tricoat and Red Jewel Tricoat to the work-ready Wheatland Yellow and Stealth Grey Metallic, GMC was leaning hard into that "Professional Grade" identity. Whether you were hauling in a Topkick or a Savana, or just showing off in a Canyon, the palette was vast, but the factory application was starting to show the signs of the times.

Paint Health Check

Here's the cold truth, junior: you're dealing with the Thin Paint Era. By 2007, the factory robots had become masters of "efficiency," which is a polite way of saying they sprayed just enough paint to make the truck look pretty on the showroom floor. Because those coats are so thin, these rigs are magnets for rock chips that go straight to the primer. If you've got a dark metallic like Bermuda Blue or Midnight Blue, you've likely seen the "sunburn"-that nasty clear coat delamination where the top layer starts peeling off the roof and hood in flakes. Once the air gets under that thin clear, it's game over; your Envoy starts losing its skin like a tourist who forgot the SPF in Cabo.

Restoration Tip

When you're fixing these 2007 finishes, remember: patience is your only friend. Because the factory finish is so thin, you can't just "blob" on a repair and expect it to blend into the surrounding area. You need to build your layers slowly. Apply your color in thin, light passes, letting it tack up properly between each one. If you try to fill a crater in one shot, it'll shrink and crack, or it'll stand out like a sore thumb against the shallow factory profile. Build the level up, sneak up on the surface height, and seal it immediately. Catching those chips today is the only way to stop the clear coat from turning into a peeling sheet tomorrow.
