Default Paint Code for the rear bumper cover....

All C7's I think are painted metallic black on the rear bumper cover, hood air intake, around tail light and on the couple air intake on rear quarter panels. Asked my dealer but they haven't been able to fine the Paint Code for these areas. Has anyone figured this out as yet?

I have some areas that were not painted so well around the tail lights and rear valence (lower bumper) and want to touch them up.

Thanks

This GM paint is not new. Cadillac has used it for years. Your dealer sounds like he's clueless or lazy.
