GMC Denali Touch Up Paint (33 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

GMC definitely didn't hold back, recording a whopping 33 colors for the Denali lineup. They really went for it with the "Professional Grade" palette-ranging from the work-ready Pewter Metallic to the high-society White Diamond Pri Metallic Tri-coat. Whether your truck is finished in the deep Bermuda Blue Metallic or the stealthy Dark Ming Blue Metallic, GMC's goal was clearly to make sure you look as good at the boat ramp as you do at the valet stand. It's a sophisticated list that proves "truck paint" can be just as fancy as a luxury sedan.

What to Watch For

If you're driving a Denali from the mid-2010s, you might notice your "Professional Grade" finish acting a little less than professional on the hood and roof. These trucks are known for clear coat fatigue in those high-sun areas, where the paint can start to look foggy or even begin to flake away. If you see the edges of your Arctic Bright White starting to lift, don't wait-seal those chips early before they grow. To find your specific color match, pop open the glovebox and look for the "Service Parts Identification" sticker. You're looking for a code starting with "WA" or "U" (like WA8554). On the very newest models, check the driver's door jamb for a QR code you can scan with your phone to reveal the secret formula.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since so many Denali colors-like Redfire Metallic or White Diamond-rely on heavy metallic flakes or multi-stage "tri-coats" to get that glow, your biggest hurdle is "the settle." Those tiny sparkles love to sink to the bottom of the bottle. Shake your touch-up pen or brush for at least 60 seconds (set a timer!) to wake up the pigment. When applying, think of it like nail polish: thin, delicate layers are your best friend. If you're dealing with a deeper chip, dab a tiny amount in the center and let it flow to the edges rather than painting a thick blob that will stand out like a sore thumb. Patience is the secret ingredient here.
