With three paint colors dropped for the refreshed 2024 Buick Encore GX, the Sunrise Red Metallic paint hue was added to stand in place of the now-defunct colors. That being said, the Sunrise Red Metallic shade is no longer available to order.
The Sunrise Red Metallic (color code GMF) paint color has been built out for the rest of the 2024 model year. Moving forward, this hue won’t return for the 2025 model year of the Encore GX.
For reference, Sunrise Red Metallic was one of the three paint colors introduced for the 2024 model year, with Ocean Blue Metallic and Copper Ice Metallic also making their debut.
In total, there are eight paint colors on offer for the 2024 Buick Encore GX, including (relevant RPO code in parenthesis):
- Cinnabar Metallic (GFM)
- Copper Ice Metallic (G98 – new for 2024)
- Ebony Twilight Metallic (GB0)
- Moonstone Gray Metallic (GZB)
- Ocean Blue Metallic (GK9 – new for 2024)
- Summit White (GAZ)
- Sunrise Red Metallic (GMF – new for 2024)
- White Frost Tricoat (GP5)
It’s worth noting that Summit White is the only no-charge paint color on offer. Meanwhile, White Frost Tricoat costs $1,095, while the remaining six color choices are priced at $495.
As a reminder, the 2024 Buick Encore GX is offered with two engine options, including the turbocharged 1.2L I3 LIH gasoline engine, rated at 137 horsepower and 162 pound-feet of torque, and the available turbocharged 1.3L I3 L3T gasoline engine, rated at 155 horsepower and 174 pound-feet of torque.
In regard to geabox choices, front-wheel-drive units are paired with a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT), while AWD units feature the GM nine-speed automatic transmission.
Under the skin, the Buick Encore GX rides on the GM VSS-F vehicle set, while production of the 2024 model year kicked off in March 2023 at the GM Bupyeong plant in South Korea. Looking forward, production of the 2025 Encore GX is currently scheduled to commence in April 2024.

Take the most exciting and popular Buick to come into showrooms for years & have the short sightedness to purchase about, say, one 55 gallon of Sunrise Red Metallic paint to cover the entire year’s build. The same old BS from General Motors that we’ve seen with other premium colors throughout the model lineup.
Mike no I am not typing your whole name on a cell phone lol. Any way it’s probably some stupid supplier issue as it actually looks good in that color personally I like the dark red I saw one sitting at my local Buick dealership and I like what appears to be a navy blue, white also looks good with the black trim otherwise it would look like a round 90s jello mold from the sides and back it helps break it up a little. So this red is more suited to a Chevy then a Buick but whatever I am sure there is another shade of red coming with a different name…. maybe Solor Flare Metallic I just made that up see I can do this to with any college degree! Lol 🤣😆
Patty, I have to tell you, your “Solar Flare Metallic” is a fantastic idea for a color name, so much so that it’s a shame you can’t patent it! 🙂
The Encore and Envista look outstanding. I prefer the Buick twins over the Chevy’s. I hope they sell as many as they can make! All the best!
It looks like a plastic kid’s toy with those ugly black wheels.
