Does anyone know what color paint was used on the steering column of a Daytona Blue Corvette (paint code 916AA)? The trim code is 490BB.

When I redid my column a few years ago I used Krylon Semi Gloss Black. It was the closest find to match the original column. There may be a true "correct" GM color code for this application but the Krylon looked very nice.
