I want to buy some touch up paint for a scratch on my 2012 blue topaz metallic Sonic. However, on every website I've looked at nobody seems to think Sonics come in blue. Does anyone know what the GM paint code for blue topaz metallic is? Is it the same as the one on 2012 Cruzes?
What color is my car?

I'm sure you can get a can of it at your dealer

Did a search in the Forum and found this post from Laborsmith.
We had two sets of screws in the box and one set worked.
So many places to find the paint code and so little time to list them all.
One way, the least easy, would be to go to the online ordering guide

Did GM start using 3-digit codes like Chrysler now? GAZ "Summit White" used to be 8624 "White" with their 4-digit codes...
I haven't even found the sticker with the paint code on it on my Sonic.

go to your dealer have your car VIN number ready and they'll look up if they got the paint.

If you would like to PM me your VIN, I can look it up on your vehicle build sheet.

Vanessa, where is the location of the code on the Sonic? I couldn't find it in the usual two GM places (trunk and glovebox) and, working in a bodyshop with this becoming a very popular car, we're bound to get some in eventually.

Hi Aldakoopa,
You will find the paint code on the Service Parts Identification Label. The label is located in the spare tire well in the trunk. It has the following information:
. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN).
. Model designation.
. Paint information.
. Production options and special equipment.
p.s. My parents live in Henderson, NC (near Durham), how far is that from Mosquito Hell? I love the Carolinas, I spent my summer vacations in NC growing up.

I didn't see mine in the trunk. Must not have looked hard enough... or somebody didn't stick one on. Anyway, if there's any issues I can just come look at the list of paint numbers. Thanks for the info though! We've had a couple of new Malibu's recently and they have their label's in the glovebox, which is unusual for a sedan, unless you've classified it as a truck for some reason.
Thanks for that, I needed a good laugh today!
I actually live in a small town called Manns Harbor, part of the mainland right next to the OBX.We've just had a ludicrous amount of mosquitoes ever since Hurricane Irene last year... we had a relatively warm winter afterwards which didn't kill them off because it never got cold enough to even frost but maybe once or twice. Then, a lot of rain all year long... they did start to dwindle down during the Summer though, like they overpopulated so much that they couldn't sustain the population or something. I know the county sure hasn't sprayed much due to "budget concerns".
Anyway, maybe by this winter I can change that town name... :banana:
