Default Paint Code?

It is silver, the glove box sticker is worn and no code is visable.
Can someone provide me with the paint code for my '99 coupe?
Is it shown anywhere else?
Thanks

Sorry, mine is an '02

food for thought, mine is silver and has the exact same paint as a damn 02 Chevy venture van (we own a body shop an my dad's smartass painter was trying to pick on me ). Anyway, if you see something close, chances are its the same 'less you have premium paint.

Good luck

Paint code starts with a WAXXXX. Option code might be 13. Sorry I don't know your paint code. Bring your vin # to a dealer he can prove you with the number. I'll bet someone here will have it.

Okay, I just check on the CorvetteActionCenter's knowledge base, they list the WA numbers but for the Sebring Silver it is listed a N/A.

On a 99 I think you might find your RPO tag in the rear of the car (not in the glove box as it is on my 2002). Look on the underside of the 3 rear compartment lids. You just may find it there on one of those lids.

The paint code is usually listed last. Typically around the very center of the tag.

Default paint code?

I had already looked under the three rear lids, nothing there. The number that started with a "U' is most likely an RPO code when it was built. I was hoping someone with a silver '99 still had the code on their glove box sticker. the number "13" that was offered may be it, but other posts suggest a "WA" might have to be included. Are any of these off the glove box sticker?
Thanks everyone,

If your car is light pewter metallic the code is 11. 6,164 1999 Vettes were painted this color.

If it's Sebring silver metallic the code is 13. 3,510 1999 Vettes were painted this color.
