Paint Chip Question?
I am looking for a paint chip for my 87. It is Dark Red and I am looking for a chip of the official paint color. Do you have any suggstions on where to find the original paint chips? Sales Brochures?
Thanks

I got my 'Charcoal Metallic' from them and it was a pretty close match [not perfect, but very close].

It's called Dark Red Metalic.....There is a 1987 Corvette Sales Brochure on Ebay now that has the paint chip in it:

Thanks, I have placed a bid. My specific interest results from a new paint job. The results are good But I believe the calibration of the mix is off. This would not be a problem but they did not paint the door jambs and I can see the difference. If the mix is not "true" then I will ask them to paint the jamb with the left over paint. If the mix is "true", then I will pay to have the jambs painted. Simple, but I want to make sure....
