1999 Hummer Touch Up Paint (11 OEM Colors)

The 1999 Hummer Vibe

Welcome to 1999-the era of cargo pants, Y2K panic, and the undisputed king of the suburban jungle: the Hummer. Whether you were driving the massive civilian H1 or just dreaming of one, the vibe was "bigger is better." We've tracked down 11 iconic colors from this peak-machismo year, and the palette is as loud as the engine. You had the high-visibility Competition Yellow (4266) for when you wanted to be seen from space, and the moody, metallic Night Storm (5292) for when you were feeling like a stealth operative at the mall. It was a time of bold choices, ranging from the classic Bright White (91493) to the deep, rich Candy Apple Red (71698).

Paint Health Check

Here's the cold, hard truth: 1999 sits right in the heart of "The Peeling Era." Most of these rigs were sprayed with a basecoat/clearcoat system that didn't always play nice with the elements-or the Hummer's unique mix of aluminum body panels and steel roofs. If your rig has been sitting in the sun, you're likely seeing "Delamination." That's the fancy word for when the clear coat starts looking like a sunburned tourist, peeling off in sheets and leaving the base color underneath vulnerable and flat. On a Hummer, these failures usually start around the rivets and roof seams, where the different metals like to expand and contract at their own pace, stretching that clear coat until it finally gives up the ghost.

Restoration Tip

In this era, a tiny rock chip isn't just an eyesore-it's an invitation for the clear coat to start lifting. Once air and moisture get under that top layer, the delamination will "creep" across the panel like a slow-motion disaster. To save your factory finish, you need to seal chips immediately. Don't wait until you have a weekend to "do it right"-get a dab of paint on any exposed edge as soon as you see it. This acts as a physical anchor, locking the edges of the clear coat down and preventing that "peel-and-flake" cycle that turns a small repair into a full-body respray.
