Difference between PG and GM?

Noc · 04-14-2011, 09:24 PM

Sorry if this is a repose but i couldnt find anything related to this using the search function.

I recently got a 2011 PG touring but i heard they discontinued the PG color for the newer models. I already ordered some parts that needs to be painted so i am trying to figure out whether i have the PG or GM

i really dont want my kits to be GM where the body is PG..

its hard for me to tell and i dont have my car at the moment.

i will really appreciate it if anyone can post RL pics of the two colors (dont really trust the photoshopped pics)

thanks in advance!

I believe PG ended with model year 2010 and all 2011 were GM. If you don't have the car look on your window sticker, in the lower right hand corner
under the VIN: and EMS: you'll see MDL: ,at the end you'll see a three letters/
numbers. If it lists K51 it's PG, if KAD it's GM. When you get the car back look at the first label on the drivers side door frame under color and one of those two codes will be listed. Good luck.

My 09 window sticker states the color in the same section. Above the VIN, EMS, MDL, OPT area, it lists

Vehicle Colors:
EXT: PLATINUM GRAPHI
INT: BLACK

Did they remove this from the window stickers in newer models?

Mcphelps,

Yes it's there to but not listed as the factory paint code I D.
Noc was looking to purchase parts and I feel it's safer to have the
official paint codes designations.

Here is platinum graphite:

Here is GM:

GM is clearly darker with a cooler hue to it compared to PG which is a much warmer gray and has some bronze hues at certain angles. I really like GM but have yet to see it in person.
