Finding your AMC Paint Code

AMC codes can be difficult to find. They do their best to hide them on top of the radiator support, making it impossible to find due to the engine grease and oil which they hid under.

The typical color code format is:

 BS/GBS

However, only the BS is the color code. This can also be shown as QBS, PBS, TBS, etc. just to drive everyone crazy. The first letter is the mysterious "Year Code" which regardless of what the intent was, it just makes for confusing color codes.

BS corresponds to Deep Water Blue Pearl Clearcoat. Again, the G in the GBS is not part of the color code. Lately, AMC has been wising up and just listing the color codes as BS.

Two Tone Combination
AMC has many two tone combinations for some cars. Two tones are two different colors on your car.  AMC did not do a great job with two tone color coding and often the secondary color information is just missing so this makes it impossible to know without borrowing a color book from us what colors you actually have.
