Where to find paint code on Chevy Malibu?

The paint code on a Chevy Malibu can be found in several locations on the vehicle. This information is important for obtaining the correct touch-up paint or ordering a new paint job that matches the original color of your car.


Locating the Paint Code


The paint code on a Chevy Malibu is typically located in one of the following places:



  • Inside the driver's side door jamb

  • On the driver's side door edge

  • On the vehicle identification number (VIN) plate, usually found on the driver's side dashboard

  • On the original window sticker or build sheet that came with the car when it was new


The paint code is usually a combination of letters and numbers, such as "WA-8555" or "GAN." This code represents the specific color of the vehicle's exterior paint.


Using the Paint Code


Once you have located the paint code, you can use it to order touch-up paint or a full repaint from a Chevy dealership or an automotive paint supplier. The paint code ensures that the new paint will perfectly match the original color of your Malibu.


It's important to note that the paint code may also be referred to as the "color code" or "paint color code" on some Chevy Malibu models. Regardless of the terminology used, the code serves the same purpose of identifying the specific color of your vehicle.
