Default What Color is my H3? Paint Code?

2008 H3

Is it Boulder Gray? Ultra Silver?

What is the GM Paint Code for it so I can get Touch Up Paint for the Rear Flares that got all knicked up from rocks...

Thanks... Now If I can figure out which color I actually have...

The touch-up for Fine Silver Birch looked a bit tan to me... but it may be what I have... not sure if that is the only one close to my color gray for a 2008 H3...

I have a Bolder Gray Metallic 2007 H3, but when I gave the code to a paint company for some spray touch up paint it came back Silver Birch Metallic
Look in the glove compartment and you can read the code there.
By just word description you most likely have Boulder Gray Metallic
Thanks for getting a color just like mine.

I was under the assumption that they only offered the Ultra silver in the H2
That color is much lighter and more silver than our gray color

I looked in the glove box and there's no sticker in it... hmmm can't find one anywhere. I'll have to get the Silver Birch Metallic and see if it matches...

If you give your VIN to the dealer they can look up your color
This would be an easy way to make just one more check.
I'm surprised the tag in not in the glove compartment
It is a darker gray tag on the far right side right side of the compartment door
The pictures you posted look Boulder Gray Metallic
GM could have changed the wording of this color back to Silver Birch Metallic
for 2008. In 2007, it was called Boulder Gray Metallic
Are you throughly confused now ?

. . . and if you ever want to buy some spray touch-up paint you can order some from
the link below. I bought some from them and painted an EGR bug shield so it would match my Boulder Gray Metallic (or Silver Birch Metallic) truck.
