SPID - RPO LABEL for '95 is in rear compartment NOT the console lid cover. Paint codes I didn't bother to confirm.
You can confirm once you do a visual on the SPID for yourself.

Found it, under the center console lid. However I see different codes online to select.. like 41/WA8555, WA8555, 8555, L8555, or U8555... wondering if those are all equivalent, or which number is the most important to match. I have a '94 Black base model.
Thanks!

based on another thread, it look like 41U indicates it a black upper coat color (and no lower code, otherwise it would also have a code with nnL, earlier C4s apparently had two tones).. so I'm still wondering what the 8555 is ..

In the old days painters used the color code and mixed their paint hopefully to the correct shade. In the 80's when the new non lead auto paint came out about every company that made paint got into auto paint and the WA number appeared. Painters now lock for the WA xxxx and use a cross reference to ID correct paint from one the multiple different paint suppliers Sherwin Williams, PPG, DuPont, GM...etc. Many body shops have contracts exclusively brands of paint makes the cross references necessary.

According to my corvette book, the 95 vette with Dark Purple and White is paint code 05/10. 05 being Dark Purple and 10 being Arctic white. They only made 527 vettes that color combo and it appears that it was a vert with a white top. It also appears that if you do not have a vert, the colors are still the same paint code for a Dark Purple and White. The book also shows a RPO Z4Z code for the verts in DP/W color, but verts only. I do not see the U8555 listed, sorry. Hope this helps a little more.
