Does anyone know the paint name of the color i have on my blazer, its a RED 96 4X4 4dr, i have a couple surface rust spots from where rocks hit the side and chipped paint, and i want to get them covered before winter gets bad and rusts them through. so i need to nkow the paint name so i can match the paint as best as i can. would anyone know? or tell me how to find it?

there should be a "u9260" or "u7475" in your glove box. thats what color i think it is.
the9260 is a very popular color, gmSTILLuses this color on production cars today. Factory calls itvictory red.
the7475is no longerused in production. factory called it bright red
both of these colors are solid red, no metallic or pearls. Only you can tell exactly what it is when you look at your glove box, but im willing to bet its one of these 2
call your local body shop they should hook you up with some touch up for under 10 bucks.

i checked mine, its u7475 Bright Red. since your truck is only 2 years older than mine and looks the same color, im betting you have u7475 also

depends on how much you wanna spend...
i have a lot of small nicks and scratches and a lot of hail damage i want to fix. i really really really want to repaint mine a dark blue or black but i dont wanna drop much more money into it.

well i want to get it painted black, but if i have to stay red for the price i will, but i have chips at the bottom where rocks hit it, so they are big chips, and they are starting to get surface rust, so i want to get that taken care of as soon as possible. but i don have the time to repaint it myself.

do you mean the hood bumpers and fenders?? You could that that prepped/painted for a hell of a lot cheaper and just get the rest buffed outto save $

i want the whole thing repainted because i have stone chips on the bottom that are starting to get surface rust. i want that covered before any snow salt gets on it.
