Default Corvette paint color code question?

I have a 1986 gold/bronze corvette, where can I find the color code on it?

Under the center console is the Service Parts ID tag - it will list the color as an option near the end of the listing
53U would be Gold Metallic
66U would be Copper Metallic (only 4 made!)
[U for "upper" with the number being the paint code]

Default RE: Paint color

Thanks guys for the great info. MY Vette (upper right) appears like it more of a copper than it is gold metalic. I used some GM spot paint and it doesn't look anything like the car.
