well this equinox was kicking my ass last week an i shoulda had it done but decided ta wrap out a silverado instead had my freindly napa store loan me the color dominator an shot it on friday an it gave me a mazda color so i mixed 2 ozs this morning an she is bang on :cheers :cheers
an of course ya gotta love how these new gm plastics match the rest of the body anyway :chair :chair
Yep, looks like a good match to me…now to the bumpers, if they would just make all the parts for American cars in America, maybe we can get the colors to match more closely…haha, make a chevy in Detroit and the only part that comes from Detroit is the frame 👿
seem like i get a gm these yrs that the color seems ta run all over the place i had an hhr a few yrs back that acording ta the paint code in the glovebox was spose ta be red but….the thing was blu go figure :chair
Looks good Gomer 😛 I did a 2002 chevy silverado this week with a WE 5405 not WA,never seen that before,had to phone the color lab for a formula in autowave with no dice,so we did a camera shot shot and it worked very well.I had a 2001 gmc that was orange but the tag said WA9260 which was red…too funny. :cheers
I have found on a few too many gm’s that they put the wrong code on the option tag. :wak
:agree
i havent seen it as many times on GM’s as i have on Fords. i sometimes get a ford code that simply doesnt exist.
looks good Bondo. I didn’t realize you had spray out cards in the shop, though :p
Ditto on the non existent Ford codes Mo…. :blink:
Gm’s r the worst for me, espacially when they put the tags in the trunk, where the spare tire cover is & tthey get missing, or the tag is there or in the glove box & they forget to print it the code.but we usually call the gm place and get a code witht he vin #.
maybe its just me but 95% of the time i can never locate the paint code for vw’s or audi’s.

Thats cause they are in the spare tire pan and since 90% of VW’s are owned by women, you would have to take all that crap out of the trunk to locate it :whistle:we sometimes have the same problem.
The thing you have to remember here, not sure if it is the same over the pond
Ford codes here are usually one letter and a number, the number is usually tied to when the car was built.
If you just put in the first part of the code this sometimes helps
Make no sense sometimes the letter and number bring up the correct colour. and other times only the letter will bring up the correct colour.
