Paint color?
Just got the the window sticker and build sheet from the Corvette museum and am having a hard time figuring out color. I have 94 coupe.
The window sticker says Polo Green Metallic. The build sheet says Med Green Met (45U). Paintscratch.com lists two greens...Medium Green Pearl Metallic Clearcoat 45/WA9539 and Polo Green Metallic Clearcoat 91/WA9529. Help please. Which one is it?

http://www.corvettepaintcodes.com/ lists only 10 colors for 1994 corvettes and as do the specifications, for 94 corvettes, found in several locations. Only one green listed - Polo green with a 45 number.
So I must assume Polo Green is med green metallic?

1994 "Polo green" is OEM code 45/WA9539 (PPG 4301)
For some reason very few of the corvette color names match the OEM name. Ive yet to figure out why GM felt the need to call one color by two names. Example: Corvette's "Admiral Blue" is relay called "Dark Cloisonne Metallic"
In this case the "Medium green ploy" is the corvette's "polo green" and the other code of 91/WA9529 you posted, is not even a corvette code. 1994 GM oem "91" is call "Plumb ploy" (purple metallic, But not corvette purple metallic) and the code "WA9529" does not exist for GM 1994.
This kind of poor record keeping is why you should never order paint from a on line reseller. You should have the paint mixed local so it can be compared to the original color before purchasing to insure a correct match. Also a Paint suppler can add age to the touch up paint so it will blend better.
Here is the PPG chip chart for GM 1994. The correct color for "Polo green" is circled in red for you.
