COLOR CODE43/WA5456 - YellowHummer Touch-Up Paint

The Look

This color is the visual definition of the early 2000s off-road boom. While other trucks were blending into the background with silvers and grays, the H2 and H3 used this shade to demand attention. It is a high-visibility, unapologetic yellow that looks just as right covered in trail mud as it does parked on a clean suburban driveway. Because your vehicle has likely spent its life outdoors, the original finish might have darkened or faded slightly from the factory standard. This pigment is designed to bring back that punchy, rugged character that made these trucks famous in the first place.

Technical Details

This is a solid finish, meaning it does not contain any metallic flakes or pearl additives. While this makes it easier to blend into your existing paint without worrying about flake orientation, solid yellows are notorious for having low opacity. If you are covering a dark primer or a deep scratch, the first layer will look thin. Do not try to solve this by applying a heavy coat. Solid colors like this require patience and multiple light layers to build up the correct depth and hide the repair underneath.

Best Practices

To verify your match, look for the Service Parts Identification sticker located inside your glove box. Before you spray or dab Hummer Yellow (check for code 43/WA5456), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. Yellow pigments are heavy and tend to settle at the bottom of the container, so thorough mixing is the only way to ensure the color comes out right. Test the color on the included card before you touch the vehicle to see how the pigment lays down. Work in a garage or the shade to keep the surface cool, and keep the container moving to prevent the paint from pooling. Give it plenty of drying time between layers to ensure a hard, durable finish.
