Default 1980 Corvette L48 Engine Paint Code req'd.

Can someone tell me how to locate the engine paint code on my 1980 Corvette? (I would like to match the OEM color when touching up the valve covers)
Thanks,
Playground

Im pretty sure the paint code for the engine is not on the car. Paint codes and interior codes are on the drivers door jam.

Our vettes came with the corperate blue engines. Paint can be bought from most corvette supliers. Block, heads and timing chain covers and valve covers were blue, my L82 intake was silver.
