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 Chevrolet Full Size Van, 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 Chevrolet Full Size Van 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:

Robert S, owner of a 1979 Chevrolet from West Yellowstone, MT

First time using a touch up product. Your product is very good, even flow and applied smoothly., far better than a "rattle can".. Gm color code is one thing; 79 original paint is another. I am pleased enough with a two-toned truck. Thx, Rob

Jack M, owner of a 1977 Chevrolet from Tulsa, OK

The paint on my 1977 suburban was all original paint, we buffed it and did a paint correction on it. I then ordered the correct touch-up paint from your company and to my surprise it was almost a perfect match to my suburban's original paint. it is close enough that only I can tell where is has been touched up. thanks for a great product!
