WA497B/WA498B/GG2 - Pull Me Over Red GMC Touch Up Paint

The Look

This is the kind of red that makes a truck look like it belongs on a poster rather than a job site. It is a loud, unapologetic shade that transformed the 2017 Canyon and Sierra from everyday workhorses into something much sportier. If you are driving a Savana in this color, you are definitely not trying to hide in traffic. Because this was a single-year option for these models, your vehicle carries a look that most owners in the silver-and-white crowd probably envy. It is deep, bright, and exactly as aggressive as the name suggests.

Technical Details

You are working with a solid finish, which is excellent news for a repair. Unlike metallic paints that use tiny flakes of aluminum, a solid red relies entirely on heavy pigment for its depth. This means you do not have to worry about the "mottling" or tiger-striping that often ruins silver or gray jobs. The challenge here is the pigment itself. Red is a naturally transparent color, so it takes a few layers to build up the "hide" needed to cover the primer. Since your truck has likely spent time in the sun since 2017, the original paint may have lightened slightly, so focus on thin applications rather than one heavy coat.

Best Practices

To confirm your match, look inside your glove box for the silver Service Parts Identification sticker. You will find the code at the bottom of the list, usually to the right of the "BC/CC" text. Before you spray or dab GMC Pull Me Over Red (check for code WA497B/WA498B/GG2), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. Heavy red pigments tend to settle at the bottom of the container, and failing to mix them will lead to a watery, pinkish result. Test the color on the included card before moving to the vehicle. When applying, keep the container moving to prevent the paint from pooling or sagging.
