Color Code Sticker Location

[viOlaziOne]

I'm trying to find that sticker on the Gs that shows the color code for the car but it's not in the typical location .. I know on my Encore its in the glove box but that's not the case with the GS .. Any ideas ?

Check the well where the spare would be, if you would have a spare.

A bunch of three digit numbers are there and then "QXMT7X" .. I search that and nothing comes up .. I'm trying to find he Smoky Gray Metallic color code to order a rock chip repair paint and for color matching down the road

Its on the Federal safety/VIN label on the DS door

That label only tells me vin and weight

One of those three digit numbers is the paint code.

At the very lower left corner of the tag with all the 3 digit codes it should say BC/CC then your color code - Mine says U 800J then many spaces and 01B.

The BC/CC stand for BaseCoat/ClearCoat. The U before the 4 Digit paint code is for Upper, then there would be an L and a diffenent 4 Digit paint code for the Lower color if the car was a two tone. Not sure what the 01B is.

Found info here http://www.automotivetouchup.com/paint-codes/buick.htm a few weeks ago when I was looking up the code after getting the 2 week purchase anniversary door ding.

thanks a LOT .. I appreciate the help big time .. funny thing is with my sticker .. next to the BC/CC there is nothing lol I thought it would be the GLJ but I didn't know for SURE since I kept seeing "Ashen Gray" as the result for that search .. I had Dr. Color Chip for my last car (06 laser red g35 coupe) and the touch up kit was beyond great for me .. just noticed a small little rock chip on my hood so I'm ordering a new paint kit just to be on the safe side for the future .. thanks again for the help I really appreciate it

Did you end up ordering and trying out the Dr. Color Chip? Curious to see how that would work on the metallic paints.

GM really screwed us with these 3-stage tri coats. I've got two small gouges on my hood from a rock that went down to the metal. Went to a quality auto body shop and was informed that the paint for the tri coats costs about $1,000 a liter. Thanks for not giving us a plain onyx black option, you fuckers.

The only way to get it to match is to blend it, so you have to use a fair amount of paint. Plus the 3 stages. I don't really want to pay $600 just to remove two small gouges :/

That sounds like A LOT. I got a quote for $470 to repaint my whole rear passenger door with WDT.

Speaking of color codes, does anyone know the color code the 'fangs' are on the front of the GS?

Yep I bought the dr color chip and the paint looks great inside the bottle .. you can see the flake and I've never had issues with their product on any of my car .. I havent had time to use it yet as I've only found one tiny rock mark so I basically bought it just to have on hand but I've never been disappointed with their product .. also, if you're using this for rock chips then there shouldnt be much worry as the odds of someone noticing a super slight different in flake would require more than two normal eyes lol

 

[Harshman]

Some people need to chill! You picked your color, not GM. I am worried about the paint chips so I paid to have the Invisible Bra put on it.

Did you just use the touch up color paint code? (GLJ WA-810T A A)

If you hop on their website it's pretty self explanatory thanks to the member above that supplied that info it was easier for me .. Plus, Ashen Gray and Smoky Gray Metallic are the same for GM which was even easier lol

What about luxo blue metallic for 2013 Buick Verano can't find paint code neither

 

[Don Seago]

I have a red 2013 Buick Verano. My car doesn't have a service parts identification sticker. I've looked everwhere recommended. On all the doors, the glove box, under the hood, in the trunk even removing the spare time to look, but no service parts ID label is anywhere in or on my vehicle. I need the color code so my paint can be matched for some repair work. Can you give any advice to help me located. Thanks, D. Seago 10/7/20 / dseago@hotmail.com

You may have better luck posting in Verano forum Buick Verano Forum (Excelle)
A dealer can run the VIN and get the information or there are some online services that can run the VIN and build sheet.

Still looking for the paint code for Black Cherry metallic on my 2017 GS.

Shoot an email to socialmedia@gm.com including your vin and request a build sheet.
