2025 GMC Touch Up Paint (24 OEM Colors)

The 2025 GMC Vibe

Welcome to the peak of the "Celestial Crayon Box" era. By 2025, GMC wasn't just selling trucks like the Sierra and Yukon; they were selling an entire mood. With 24 colors in the stable, they went heavy on the "Space and Earth" theme. You've got your cosmic adventurers like Cosmonaut, Galactica, and Meteorite parked right next to the "I'm definitely going off-road" earth tones like Sand Dune and Aegean Stone. It's a sophisticated palette, but let's be honest-whether it's a Canyon or a Savana, that factory finish is a far cry from the lead-heavy shells of the past. It's high-tech, high-gloss, and higher-maintenance than a vintage show pony.

Paint Health Check

Here's the cold, hard truth from the spray booth: we are living in the Thin Paint Era. In 2025, those factory robots are calibrated for "maximum efficiency," which is just a polite way of saying the paint is thinner than a politician's promise. You might find a Terrain or an Acadia with "orange peel" textures right off the lot, or worse, clear coat that starts to look "cloudy" if you breathe on it wrong. The real enemy here is rock chips. Because the factory enamel is applied so sparingly, a single pebble on the highway can punch straight through the Ebony Twilight or Radiant Red Tricoat and find bare metal before you've even had your first oil change. If you aren't seeing chips on the nose or the rocker panels yet, just give it another 5,000 miles.

Restoration Tip

When you're fixing a chip in this modern enamel, remember: patience is your only friend. Because the factory finish is so thin, you can't just "blob" a big drop of paint in a hole and hope it levels out-it'll look like a colorful zit on your hood. Instead, build your layers slowly. Use a fine-tip applicator to dab a tiny amount, let it dry, and repeat until the depth matches the surrounding clear coat. If you're working with those fancy Tricoats like White Frost or Red Quartz, take your time or you'll end up with a patch that sticks out like a sore thumb in the sunlight.
