Paint Codes
VEHICLE CERTIFICATION (VC) CODESVehicle Certification (VC) Label Locator:
The VC label contains the manufacturer name, the month and year of manufacture, the certification statement and the VIN. It also includes the vehicle GVWR.
If a vehicle requires replacement of the VC label and is 4 years old or less, an authorized dealer must submit the VIN to their respective regional office. The regional office will submit a web form to the assembly plant for the replacement label. Once the label has been printed, a representative from the regional office will deliver the label to the dealer and witness installation on the vehicle. If a vehicle is more than 4 years old and requires a replacement label, the dealer must submit a request to the Department of Motor Vehicles.
