How to find the paint code Chevrolet Tahoe 2000-2006

In this video, I show you the exact location of the paint code on a 2000-2006 Chevrolet Tahoe.

Knowing exactly where to find the factory Service Parts Identification label will save you time and prevent you from buying the wrong shade of touch-up paint or mismatched body panels for your DIY project.

Common Reasons for Locating Your Paint Code:

• Ordering the correct color-matched touch-up paint pen or spray for rock chips and highway scratches
• Buying pre-painted replacement body parts like a side mirror housing, door handle, liftgate, or bumper cover
• Providing the exact factory paint formula code to a professional body shop for a perfect blend and match
• Identifying the formal GM paint name (such as Summit White, Olympic White, Pewter Metallic, or Onyx Black) for your records
• Verifying if a replacement panel or used body part matches your vehicle’s original factory finish

Safety First

Always prioritize safety and focus when working around your vehicle. Make sure the car is safely parked on a flat surface with the emergency brake securely engaged before you begin checking the vehicle’s interior compartments. Keep your attention focused on reading the label details clearly, and handle any surrounding trim panels gently so you do not snap any plastic components.
