i'm sure that we'd all appreciate someone listing our TBSS colors and corresponding codes;i know that i would(summit white)! one of our GM buddies could jump all over this,i'm sure.much gratitude in advance! i know it's supposed to be listed on the "glovie" door;but i cannot recognize one code from the other!thanks,guys
Each color also has a "wa" code. This is probably the number you would find on the glove box door. There are also interior, underhood and accent colors available.
Let me know if you need codes or PPG paint formulas. I have all the reference materials.
Where would you recommend buying touch-up paint? Ive heard you can go to the dealer, auto parts store, online stores... I've heard about problems wit the dealer and auto parts store, as well as using Duplicolor paint. What would you recommend?
Look in the glove box, there is a silver sticker (plackard) with lots of stuff on it.
Now look for the number or possibly a number-letter combanation next to the
WA- i.e. 301N or 382E or 926L, those are the codes I use when looking up a color on a car or truck that I'm painting or touching-up.
WA-301N is mine Red Jewel Tint Coat (Tri-coat Red)
I use PPG Nexa AutoColor and the WA code is what my software requires for a color mix.
On the silver placard (sticker, label) it is "BC/CC" then "U" then "301N"
BC/CC U 301N
It is on the bottom left of the placard.
In my brain, when I see the BC/CC, I automatically translate that to WA.
WA 301N is what the PPG Nexa AutoColor software I use requires for color lookup.
The BC/CC or the U will not work for me.
BC/CC means Base Coat / Clear Coat a two stage process. I don't know what the U stands for.
Sorry about the slight confusion, I have mastered Confusion!
First, I'm new to TrailVoy and this is my very first post, so be nice!
Now, I've been trying to find the name of the color on my TB.
I found BC/CC U 213M in my glove box and I believe that to be Graystone Met. Can anyone confirm?
I know this was posted several months ago, but I wanted to reply, even late.
Yes that is the correct color name, but it comes down to the code.
Painters only work with the CODE (213M). On GM Auto's its WA213M, names don't mean much...
"pdutzel" was right about the WA #, but the placard on the auto does not say "WA", so you gotta get the "number/letter" combo and put the WA in front of it when asking for a paint to be mixed at a 'Auto Paint Supplier' (this is if you plan on doing large areas of paint repairs, ie... panels... bumbers... doors... or even an 'overall' (complete paint job)). Most suppliers know the WA goes with the GM line of autos.... so they just ask for the #, in your case, 213M...
If you want just Touch-Up... You really need to find a "Touch-Up" expret
Sometimses found at your local dealership working for the 'used car' manager.
Last note: BC/CC means "Base Coat/Clear Coat". Base Coat is the color & Clear Coat is the "Shinny Stuff" that looks wet when sprayed (or Shot) on correctly.
soo how much would it be for Paint Code WA379E or 86U
