Your Paint Color Profile

568 (1974) - Bright Green Irid

The Look

Your 1974 GMC truck comes from an era where "subtle" was not in the design vocabulary. This color arrived right as the automotive world transitioned from the muted earth tones of the early seventies into the loud, high-impact palettes of the mid-decade. It is a unapologetic green that defines the rugged, boxy lines of a vintage Sierra or Jimmy. Since your truck has been on the road for five decades, the original finish has likely suffered from sun exposure and oxidation, meaning any fresh paint will look much deeper and richer than the weathered panels around it.

Technical Details

The "Irid" in the name is your clue that this is a metallic finish. It relies on thousands of tiny suspended flakes to catch the light, which gives the green its depth. Metallics are notorious for a phenomenon called mottling, where the flakes clump together to create dark spots or uneven stripes. If the paint sits too long, those heavy metallic particles sink to the bottom of the container. If you do not keep the pigments properly suspended, you will end up with a finish that looks blotchy rather than a smooth, uniform green.

Best Practices

On a 1974 model, you can usually find your paint information on the Service Parts Identification decal located inside the glove box. Before you spray or dab GMC Bright Green Irid (check for code 568 (1974)), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. This is non-negotiable for metallics. Once you begin, keep the container moving in steady, overlapping passes to ensure the flakes lay down flat. Test the color on the included card before moving to your truck to ensure the pigment is mixed well. If you are working in a garage or the shade, give each layer ample drying time to prevent the heavy green pigment from sagging or running.

ensuring the right match

Find your GMC paint code

GMC placed paint codes in many different locations, making them difficult to find, and GM did not standardize the color plate location across makes and models. Codes are often found in the glove box or the spare tire well; otherwise they could be elsewhere. Typical format: 51/WA316N, usually preceded by BC/CC (e.g., BC/CC 51 or BC/CC 316N). Two-tone entries may use U or L for Upper or Lower (e.g., BC/CC U316N or BC/CC L316N).

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.
