Need Help Finding the Paint Code for Silver Ice Metallic!

Maintenance & Repairs
1

I’m looking for some help with my Chevrolet vehicle; it’s painted in Silver Ice Metallic and I’m in need of the exact paint code. After a bit of wear and tear, I decided it’s time for some touch-ups, but I want to make sure I get the right shade to match the original color.

Here’s what I’ve found so far:

  • Silver Ice Metallic is a popular color for several GM vehicles, particularly Chevy and GMC models.
  • I’ve seen that the paint code might differ based on the specific model and year of manufacture.
  • A lot of users recommend checking the label inside the driver’s side door or the owner’s manual, but I have yet to find this information.

If anyone could assist me:

  • What’s the exact paint code for this color?
  • Are there any recommended products or brands that provide a good match for touch-up purposes?
  • Any tips or tricks for applying touch-up paint that you’ve found effective?

I appreciate any guidance you can offer. I’ve seen some postings on forums about this, but it’s still a bit confusing. Thanks in advance for your help!

In addition to the door jamb, you can sometimes find the paint code inside the glove box or under the hood. Just look for any labels!

That’s awesome to know! I was only looking on the door. I’ll check those places next time.

Also, have you checked online for resources? Websites like carparts.com might have the paint codes listed if you enter your vehicle’s info!

It’s interesting how different manufacturers label their paint codes. Some use specific names while others use more generic names. Silver Ice Metallic can sometimes be confused with other silvers!

Right! It’s essential to double-check and verify the code before you buy paint—otherwise you might end up with the wrong shade!

I’m really curious, what type of project are you working on that needs this paint code? Just a touch-up or something more drastic?

Haha, just a touch-up! My car is a bit scratched, need to make it look fresh again!

Hey! I had a similar issue finding the paint code for my car. You can usually find the code on the driver’s side door jamb or in the glove box. Have you checked there yet?

That’s a great tip! I found mine on the door jamb. For Silver Ice Metallic, I recommend checking out local auto body shops; they often have resources to help you.

Local auto parts stores may have the color in stock, but if you’re looking online, check out websites like PaintScratch or AutomotiveTouchup. They offer great matching services.

Those are solid recommendations! If you’re in a pinch, I’ve also had decent experiences with eBay sellers who specialize in OEM paint.

Thanks for the suggestions, everyone! Has anyone tried matching paint at home? I’ve heard it can be tricky, especially with metallics like Silver Ice.

17

I did it once, and let’s just say my car ended up looking more like a patchwork quilt than a solid color! Professional shops often have the best tools for mixing metallics.

Anyone know if there’s an easy way to get a sample before committing to a whole can? I want to make sure it’s a perfect match!

19

You could ask for a sample spray from the online retailers I mentioned. Many offer small quantities for testing, and it’s a smart way to ensure the right shade!

I’m curious, has anyone compared prices between retailers? I want the best deal, but color accuracy is my priority. What’s the consensus?
