GMC Full Size Pick-Up Touch Up Paint (77 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

GMC didn't just make trucks; they made a statement with a staggering 77 colors over the years. From the workhorse Pewter Metallic and Indigo Metallic to the surprisingly fancy Emerald Green Metallic, they really went for it. Whether your truck is dressed in "50 shades of gray" like Storm Gray Metallic or something a bit more adventurous like Sunset Orange, you're working with a palette that was built to look good between the job site and the boat ramp.

What to Watch For

Before you crack that touch-up bottle, you need to find your "treasure map"-the paint code. On a GMC Full Size, this is almost always a sticker tucked safely inside your glove box. Look for a label that says "Service Parts Identification" and find the code starting with "WA" or "U" (like WA8555 for Black).

Keep an eye on the roof and hood, as these trucks are known for clear coat "sunburn" where the paint can start to flake. Also, check the area around your door handles; the constant use can cause the paint to thin or bubble. Catching these small spots early with a touch-up pen keeps your truck from looking like it's "shedding" its skin.

Driveway Repair Tip

Because GMC loves those heavy metallics-think Silver Metallic or Light Autumnwood-you have to be the "Paint Bartender." Shake that touch-up bottle for a full 60 seconds (even when you think you're done, shake it again) to wake up the metallic flakes so they don't all sink to the bottom. When applying, think "less is more." Use the tip of the brush to dab a tiny dot into the center of the chip and let it spread out naturally. It requires patience, but two thin layers will always look better and stay on longer than one giant, gloppy mountain of paint.
