Your Paint Color Profile

2029 (1976) - Scarlett Yellow

The Look

This is a loud, unapologetic slice of the seventies. Because your vehicle has been on the road since the Bicentennial, you likely know that this color was a staple for the hard-working utility fleet and the boldest passenger cars of the era. Whether it is on a vintage C10 or a mid-size cruiser, this shade sits right in that sweet spot between a sunset gold and a commercial safety yellow. It represents a time when Chevrolet wasn't afraid to let their vehicles stand out in a parking lot full of brown and olive green.

Technical Details

The good news is that this is a solid finish, meaning you do not have to worry about metallic flakes settling unevenly or creating dark stripes. However, yellow is a naturally transparent pigment. If you are covering a dark scratch or a grey primer, the old color will try to peek through and make the finish look muddy. To get the right depth before you spray or dab Chevrolet Scarlett Yellow (check for code 2029 (1976)), make sure your repair area is a uniform, light color. Solid yellows are honest; they show every bit of texture underneath, so take an extra minute to ensure your surface is smooth before you start.

Best Practices

You will usually find your identity sticker inside the glove box door or stamped onto a metal cowl tag on the driver's side of the firewall under the hood. Once you have confirmed the match, the most important step is the mix. Yellow pigments are heavy and like to sit at the bottom of the container, so shake it vigorously for at least two minutes. Test the color on the included card to ensure the shade has fully integrated. When applying, keep the container moving to avoid puddles. Multiple thin layers are better than one heavy coat, as they build the opacity you need without risking runs. Give it plenty of drying time in the shade before you think about a second pass.

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.
