How to Find Your 1970 C10 Paint Code

🔍

Check the Service Parts Identification label

On a 1970 Chevy C10, the paint code is printed on the Service Parts Identification (SPID) label — a white sticker typically found on the inside of the glove box door or the driver-side door jamb. Look for the two- or three-digit number that matches the code column in the table above. If your label is missing or illegible, UreChem can formulate a match from a good paint sample.

About the 1970 C10 Color Palette

The 1970 Chevrolet C10 closed out the second generation of Chevy's C/K truck lineup with confidence and flair. Subtle exterior updates — the egg-crate grille, amber side marker lenses, and bold badging — gave the truck a stronger road presence, while inside, optional comfort upgrades continued to blur the line between work truck and everyday cruiser. But the real standout was the factory paint palette.

Chevrolet offered a remarkably wide range of colors in 1970, from rich saturated tones like Flame Red and Medium Blue to earthy metallics like Ochre and Dark Gold. Two-tone paint schemes remained popular, often pairing bold body colors with White roofs or rockers to add a custom touch right off the showroom floor.

No matter where your 1970 C10 build takes you, getting the color and finish just right brings the whole truck together — and makes sure it stands tall for decades to come.
