Each General Motors (GM) vehicle has a paint code for its color. The paint code is in a reference computer database that tells a painter what quantity of each color to mix for the final product. Touch-up paints from dealerships have paint codes to match to the original color when a car owner is repairing a small area. Collision experts rely on the paint code to do body work and repaint large portions of vehicles so they will match in color.

I know the URL works perfectly because I can see the stream in VLC player. Thanks for this but it will not let me put a URL like this in the Source box. But then I disabled RTSP auth in the cam (tested OK in VLC)) but won't show the stream.I've now built a windows 2008 VM and have installed HikVisions NVR Server software. When I try and enter the URL like the one you have given an example of below into the source box, Zoneminder tells me the format is not allowed. Hikvision rtsp settings update. Here's a Screenshot:When I try and separate this out into source, port and path boxes it accepts (albeit without the auth embedded in the URL.
Step 2
Read the bottom line in the series of numbers on the sticker.
Step 3
Write down BC and the number following it. This is the base coat or undercoat color of the vehicle. Some cars and trucks have a different undercoat or base coat with a different color of topcoat to achieve depth in the final color.
Step 4
Write down CC on a piece of paper to note that the vehicle has a top layer of clear coat paint to add a mirror-like image.
Step 5
Write down U and the number following it. This is either the upper color of a vehicle or the main color code for the vehicle. Some cars and trucks have a different paint code on the roof, hood and truck that varies from the side of the body.
Write down the U and L, each with their own paint code. This is the upper and lower colors on a two-tone truck or the body color and the bumper color on a car.
Tips
- Other paint code locations on GM vehicles include on the left side of the driver seat, the passenger door face and the sidewall of a truck cab.
- Write down the entire bottom line on the service parts identification sticker to purchase touch-up paint.
- Touch-up paint is available at GM car dealerships in spray-on and brush-on types for covering small areas.
Warning
- Vehicles that are more than 5 years old may have a slightly different color of paint than when it was originally manufactured. Sunlight fades colors slightly over time when a vehicle is not kept in the garage or covered. GM dealerships can use the paint codes and add a chemical to age the paint so it will match the car or truck.

If you're considering a fresh coat of paint on your car but you want to make sure that you match your current paint job precisely, you'll need to find the colour code. One way you can find this code is by using the vehicle's unique VIN, or vehicle identification number. Once you find the right code, you can confidently order or apply matching auto paint and avoid the uncertainty of matching colours using paint samples.
Look for the VIN plate on the driver's side dashboard, near the bottom of the windshield. It is a long, narrow metal plate, and is usually either black and white or all black with engraved letters and numbers.
Write down the 17-digit VIN.
Look up a local dealership for your make of vehicle in an online phone directory and call the service department. Alternatively, you can visit a dealership in person.
Ask for help in the service department, explaining that you have a VIN and want to use it to find the original manufacturer colour code for that vehicle.
Write down the colour code once it has been looked up for you. If you visit the dealership in person, they may be able to simply print it out for you.
Most recent
- If you already have a printed vehicle history report for this vehicle, the colour code may be listed. Whether or not the colour code is in your vehicle history report depends on the company from which you purchased the report.
