Hello all,

No, my engine is not blowing blue smoke (this was all of the threads returned when searching on the forum for smoke blue metallic haha).

The color of my 91 Burban is a little hard to track down. Looked at the SPID and it’s just codes, no descriptions like some of the earlier SPIDs.

Thankfully my parents saved the original window sticker when they bought it and sure enough, code 27 Smoke Blue Metallic. Seems like a google search is only finding code 21 light blue metallic. Anyone have thoughts on where I can find the smoke blue? Just wanting to find a small can or touch up pen for little chips in the future. As I kid I used the small can we had to paint my pinewood derby car ‍♂️.

Pics below for reference

There are online companies that will match paint codes for touch up bottles and rattle cans.
Dunno the name offhand.

I think we have the same color scheme Burbs. Mine is an 89. Try Dr Color Chip. I got their dual color package and it has been great for touch ups. If you take your time and do multiple coats over several days you can fill in chips pretty nicely.

Automotivetouchup.com They have your code 27. They call it light blue metallic.

Hard to say without seeing them side by side but that's awful close to the regular light blue metallic. I'd bet it's the same
