Where to Find Chevy Paint Codes
To find the paint codes for Chevrolet vehicles, you can refer to the service parts identification sticker. The location of the sticker may vary from year to year, but it typically contains the necessary information. Most labels are white paper stickers, while more modern ones are silver labels. The paint codes for Chevy cars and trucks usually start with “WA” or “BC/CC U”. “BC/CC” stands for basecoat/clearcoat, and “U” stands for upper or body color. For two-tone models, the body color code is followed by a “U” and the lower color or bumper color code is followed by an “L”.
Here are some specific locations where you can find the service parts identification sticker for various Chevrolet models:
– All Trucks: #4 glove box
– Astro: Passenger Door Rear Face
– Avalanche: #4 glove box
– Aveo: #4 glove box
– Beretta: #3 on spare tire cover
– Blazer: #4 glove box or #1 trunk lid
– Lumina Van: [no specific location mentioned]
If you are having trouble finding the identification tag or it is not in any of the locations mentioned above, you can contact Chevrolet directly at 800.222.1020 and provide them with your VIN to get your paint code.
Please note that Chevrolet has tried various locations for the service parts identification sticker throughout the years, so it may not always be easy to find. Additionally, Chevrolet uses different codes for the same color, which can add to the confusion. If you find multiple codes for the same color in your search online, this is why.
