CLEAR COAT IS REQUIRED WITH THIS PAINT

To ensure your paint repair blends in perfectly, you'll need to apply a clear coat over the color coat. While AutomotiveTouchup paint products are custom mixed to perfectly match the color of your 1978 GMC (All Models), we use the same basecoat/clearcoat system as your factory specs. You can add a clear coat to your order on the next step. The color code will be located on a sticker named Parts Identification. The code can start with BC/CC followed by a U, or a WA with a four digit number/letter combination. We use the WA format for simplicity, your code may have a U. WA8555 is the same as U8555.

Why The Two-Step Paint System?

Your 1978 GMC (All Models) is painted at the factory with a high quality basecoat/clearcoat system. This two-step paint system consists of step one, the basecoat, which is your car’s actual color, and step two, the clearcoat, the specially formulated clear paint that protects the base color and provides the luster and deep shine your vehicle came with when new. AutomotiveTouchup products faithfully reproduce your vehicle manufacturer’s basecoat/clearcoat system.

Here's what our customers are saying about our Touch Up Paint:

Ecstatic Customer, owner of a 2011 GMC Acadia from Riverside, CA

Brand new car and a day later.... brand new nick. Everytime I looked at it, it made me just a little more depressed, so finally took the step, went to Automotivetouchup.com and ordered the perfect match for my nick (by now two more). The paint arrived quickly, and my car looks brand new again. Communication was fantastic as was the speed of the shipment.

Ed, owner of a 2012 GMC Acadia

My daughter had 2 scratches from the garage door on the tailgate of her brand new GMC Acadia. The paint was an exact match and was almost invisible, in about 5 minutes. Very satisfied.

Dan S, owner of a 2012 GMC Acadia from Milltown, NJ

I was very pleased with the fast shipment and the color match was incredible given the color of my car.I can no longer see the damaged area and the clear coat sealed the area completely. Thanks.
