Where to Find the Paint Information on GM Vehicles
Getting an exact match for your GM vehicles exterior paint requires specific information from the manufacturer, according to Paint Scratch, an automotive touch-up provider. GM paint codes are usually three- or four-digit numeric codes beginning with the letters "WA" stamped onto labels or plates located on the vehicle itself. There are three places to look for a GM vehicles paint information.
On the Vehicle
GM places the paint code in a variety of locations, depending on the make and model of the vehicle, according to MicroFinish LLC, a provider of specialty paint products. Check the spare tire cover, underneath the drivers seat, inside the glove box, under the passenger sun visor or the drivers side door jamb.
Owners Manual
Check your owners manual for the location of your GM paint code information. According to Express Paint, a car paint provider, GM owners manuals will not provide the paint code, but they will give you the specific location of the label or plate where the maker stamped the paint code.
Dealer
Call the dealership where you bought your GM vehicle to find the paint code. Express Paint notes that most dealers will require the Vehicle Identification Number from your vehicle to provide either the paint code or the paint codes location on the vehicle.
