The Look

Finding GMC Woodland Green Metallic (look for code 43U/WA299C) in the wild is a rare occurrence because it only spent a single year on the assembly line. It represents the peak of 90s forest-green utility, giving your Safari a rugged, outdoor personality that modern greyscale colors just cannot match. Since your GMC has been working hard since 1997, the original finish has likely weathered a bit, but this deep green remains one of the best colors for masking road grime and minor surface scratches.

Technical Details

This is a true metallic finish, which means it relies on tiny flakes to catch the light and create depth. These metallic particles are heavier than the pigment and love to settle at the bottom of the container. If you do not get them fully suspended, you will end up with dark splotches or stripes where the color looks uneven. It is a rewarding finish to repair, but it demands consistent movement to ensure the flakes lay down flat and catch the sun correctly from every angle.

Best Practices

Before you head into the garage or the shade, check the Service Parts Identification sticker in your glove box to confirm your code. Once you are ready, shake your container for at least sixty seconds to wake up those settled metallic flakes. Test the color on the included card to see how the metallic settles before you touch the vehicle. Keep the container moving at a steady pace to prevent the paint from pooling in one spot, and allow for plenty of drying time between thin layers to build the color naturally.
