Your Paint Color Profile

64 (1981) - Camel Beige

The Look

1981 was a year built on utility, and this shade reflects that history. It is an earthy tan that spent its life on the hoods of Medium Duty trucks and chassis cabs. This is not a color designed to turn heads at a show; it was designed to hide road grime and work as hard as the person behind the wheel. Because your truck has been on the road for over forty years, the original finish has probably settled into a more muted state than what you see in the fresh liquid.

Technical Details

This is a solid finish. You will find no metallic flakes or shimmering pearls to complicate your repair. While that makes the application simple, beige is a deceptive color. It is sensitive to thickness; a heavy layer might look different than a thin one. Since there is no sparkle to hide behind, any variation in the underlying surface will show through the finish. If your truck has spent decades in the sun, the old paint has probably shifted, so a good cleaning in the shade is the best first step to getting a match.

Best Practices

You can find your paint information on the Service Parts Identification sticker, which is tucked away inside your glove box. Before you spray or dab GMC Camel Beige (check for code 64 (1981)), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. This ensures the pigments are blended and not sitting at the bottom of the container. Always test the color on the included card to check the match against your specific truck. When applying, keep the container moving to prevent the paint from pooling. Give it ample drying time between layers to let the color stabilize.

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.
