Need touchup paint?

Touchup brush or spraycan for larger areas... Duplicolor or GM brand both are good.

So first thing is finding your paint code.  You'll need to look at the RPO sticker, which is usually in the trunk (check under the carpet for the spare tire).

It will be a number followed by a "U" (upper).  This is the primary paint color.

IF you have 2 tone, the bottem color will be a number followed by a "L" (lower).  


Occationally GM uses the same number for different colors, but this does not happen to often.  It's usually on weird colors anyways.


In this example it is "40U"... thus the paint code is 40.




then you can go to the Duplicolor website and check if you like.

Choose GM, and any year (doesn't really matter, the paint codes are the same).

as i said, i ordered some from there. if you call duplicolor they can tell you the nearest location that has ordered the paint you want in the last 4 months, but you cant order from them directly.

here's a couple more: you can also call the dealer with your vin and theyll let you know your part number.
