Find Your Chevrolet S-Series 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).

The Color Breakdown

Chevrolet didn't just make a truck with the S Series; they made a rolling canvas. We've recorded a staggering 118 colors for this series. They really went for it, offering everything from the workhorse Pewter Metallic and Indigo Metallic to the "look-at-me" Tangier Orange and Bright Yellow. Whether your truck spent its life on a construction site or cruising the local strip, there is a specific shade of 90s nostalgia waiting for you.

What to Watch For

If your S-10 or Sonoma looks like it's suffering from a bad sunburn, you aren't alone. During this era, the clear coat on these trucks had a habit of "delaminating"-which is just a fancy way of saying the top layer likes to peel off in sheets, especially on the hood and roof. You'll also want to keep a close eye on the areas around the door handles and the bottom of the tailgates; paint tends to bubble and chip there first.

To find your specific match, pop open the glove box. You're looking for a white or silver sticker filled with three-digit codes. Your paint code is usually at the bottom, starting with "WA" or "U" (for Upper body color). It might be something like WA9260 (Victory Red) or WA382E (Pewter Metallic).

Driveway Repair Tip

Since so many S Series colors are Metallic or "Pri Metallic" (meaning they have little flakes of sparkle inside), your biggest hurdle is the "settle." Those heavy metallic flakes love to sink to the bottom of the touch-up bottle.

The Whisperer's Secret: Shake that bottle or spray can for a full two minutes-long after you think you're done. When using a touch-up brush, think "dab," not "paint." If you try to brush it on like a wall in your house, you'll drag all the silver sparkles to one side and the spot will look darker than the rest of the truck. Apply one thin layer, let it dry for 15 minutes, and then hit it again. Patience is the difference between a "fix" and a "fleck."

Before you order Chevrolet S-Series paint

How do I confirm the right color for my Chevrolet S-Series?

Use the paint code from the Chevrolet S-Series label and match it to the color page before ordering. The model page narrows the list, but the paint code decides the match.

Where do I find the paint code for Chevrolet S-Series?

For the Chevrolet S-Series, start with the make-specific code guidance: 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). If the label is missing, ask a dealer parts department for a VIN lookup before ordering paint.

Why should I use the paint code instead of the color name?

The paint code is safer than the color name. Similar names can appear on different years, models, or makes.

What if the code is missing?

Use the paint code guide, check other label locations, or ask a dealer to look up the code by VIN before ordering.

Can trim, bumper, or finish differences affect Chevrolet S-Series touch up paint?

Yes. Body paint, trim paint, wheel paint, textured parts, and special finishes can use different materials or codes for Chevrolet S-Series. Match the exterior paint code for body-color repairs, and verify a separate finish before ordering paint for trim, wheels, or unpainted parts.

What product should I choose for Chevrolet S-Series repair?

For Chevrolet S-Series repair, use a pen for tiny chips, a bottle for small chips or short scratches, a spray can for larger areas that can be masked, and PRO sizes for panel or spray-gun work. Choose a kit when the repair also needs primer, clearcoat, sanding, or polishing supplies.
