Your Paint Color Profile

9V9/WA9403/WA8265 - Tan

The Look

Your GMC Topkick was built for heavy hauling and job-site grit, and this shade of tan was designed to match that industrial spirit. It is a classic, no-nonsense neutral that defined the medium-duty fleet between 2008 and 2010. Because your truck is likely a workhorse, you will appreciate how this color hides light dust, dried mud, and road grime. It does not try to be fancy; it just looks professional and prepared for a long day of work.

Technical Details

This is a solid finish, which is excellent news for a repair. Since there are no metallic flakes or pearls hiding in the pigment, you do not have to worry about the paint looking darker or lighter depending on the angle of your stroke. There is zero risk of mottling or stripes. However, a solid color like this will highlight any bumps or sand scratches you leave in the primer. Your success depends on how smooth you make the surface before the color goes down.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab GMC Tan (check for code 9V9/WA9403/WA8265), you need to shake it for a full minute to get the heavy pigments moving. You can usually find your paint code on the silver Service Parts ID sticker inside the glove box, though on some Topkicks, it is tucked away on the cab wall behind the passenger seat. Since your truck has likely spent years out in the sun, the original finish might have faded. Always test the color on the included card before you touch the metal. When you are ready to apply, keep the container moving to prevent the paint from pooling. Give the surface plenty of drying time before you move on to the clear coat.

ensuring the right match

How to Find Your GMC's Color 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.
