Ruby Red (Interior) (C9414) Touch-Up Paint for GMC

The Look

Nineteen ninety-four was a defining year for the GMC Full Size Pick-Up, and this color is the heart of that era's bold interior design. It is a deep, saturated red that coats everything from the dashboard to the trim panels, creating a cabin environment that feels both high-energy and distinctly retro. Since your truck has been on the road for decades, you are likely dealing with the inevitable scuffs on the plastic door pulls or dash edges. This shade does not try to be subtle; it is an unapologetic statement of 90s truck culture that brings a sense of factory-fresh life back to a hardworking interior.

Technical Details

This is a solid finish, meaning it lacks any metallic or pearl flakes. While that makes the application more straightforward, solid reds are notoriously tricky because they contain heavy pigments that tend to shift over time. After thirty years of sun exposure through your windshield, the original plastic may have faded or taken on a slightly different hue compared to a fresh batch. Because there are no sparkles to hide behind, any thickness in the application will be obvious. You want to focus on thin layers to ensure you do not fill in the natural grain or texture of your interior plastic pieces.

Best Practices

Before you begin, verify your color by checking the Service Parts Identification sticker, which is almost always located inside your glove box. To get the most accurate results with GMC Ruby Red (Interior) (check for code C9414), you must shake the container for at least two full minutes to properly mix the dense red pigments. Test the color on the included card to see how the new paint reacts with the current state of your trim. When you are ready to apply, work in the shade and keep the container moving to prevent the paint from pooling. Allow for plenty of drying time between light coats to build a durable finish that looks like it belongs in a showroom.
