Your Paint Color Profile

62 (1972) - Driftwood

The Look

Driftwood is a muted, earthy beige that perfectly captures the shift toward natural tones in the early 1970s. While it wasn't a high-impact muscle color, it defined the understated look of 1972 Chevrolet trucks and various passenger models. Since your vehicle has been on the road for over half a century, this neutral shade is surprisingly forgiving, but it carries a vintage character that demands a precise match to keep that original factory feel. It was a one-year offering that gave All Other Models a sophisticated, rugged appearance that still looks right at home in a modern garage.

Technical Details

This is a solid finish, which is great news for a DIY project. Because there are no metallic flakes to worry about, you won't have to deal with the mottling or "tiger stripes" that can ruin a metallic job. The biggest challenge with a fifty-year-old beige is oxidation. Over time, the original paint on your car can lighten or turn chalky, meaning the fresh paint might look a bit deeper than the weathered sections. Solid colors like this also show every speck of dust, so ensure your work area is as clean as possible before you begin.

Best Practices

You can usually find your paint information on the Service Parts Identification label located inside the glove box or on the driver's side door pillar. Before you spray or dab Chevrolet Driftwood (check for code 62 (1972)), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. This ensures the pigments are fully integrated for a consistent shade. Test the color on the included card before you touch the vehicle to verify how the new paint interacts with the aged finish. Keep the container moving to ensure the paint lays down flat, and allow for ample drying time between each thin layer to avoid runs.

ensuring the right match

Find your Chevrolet paint code

Chevrolet did not make it easy to find the color code. Over the years they used many different locations and did not standardize the color plate, so it can be hard to locate. Usually it is in the glove box or the spare tire well; otherwise, the search may extend everywhere. The typical code is 51/WA316N, usually preceded by BC/CC. Two tone codes can appear as BC/CC U316N or BC/CC L316N (U for Upper, L for Lower).

Will absolutely order from this company again.

After ordering touch-up paint from Lexus I was still waiting for it a month later. If they'd told me upfront it would take that long I wouldn't have ordered in the first place. Paint Scratch was recommended by a friend who restores cars. Easy ordering, fair price and fast shipping. The color match is great especially considering my car is a 2012. Will absolutely order from this company again. Reason I chose this business: Lexus collision repair and a local collision repair. Will use paint less dent removal and touch up chipped paint myself. Reason I chose this product: Spouse sideswiped passenger side of car while backing out of garage. Mostly plastic transfer from his wheel well trim but pressure creased and cracked the paint causing a bare strip 1/8 wide x 4" long below door handle. Scratches on door handle and a few small chips on both doors.

Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans

Used Paint Scratch metallic custom mixed spray cans paint on a hood panel with excellent coverage and texture over the surface. Metallic paint can be very unforgiving out of a spray can, sputtering pigmentation dots on the panel being sprayed and thus ruining the paint job. No such issues with Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint spray cans. Paint sprayed strong and evenly till the last drop of paint in the can. Shipping time was faster than expected. Reason I chose this business: Having tried other brands of custom mixed metallic paint with terrible results, sputtering pigmentation tint dots from the spray nozzle in spite of vigorously shaking of can prior to application and loss of propellant rendering the lower fifth of the can's paint useless, Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint sprays out beautifully and strong all the way to the last gram of paint in the can. Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans for automotive restoration. Thank you Paint Scratch.
