Default Milleniuum with Tint?

The window sticker on the 2002 ZO6 I just bought says "Millenium yellow W/ Tint." Is this different then the Millenium yellow on standard C-5's?

I don't think so-Mill yellow cars have an extra coat of paint,the tint could be the extra coat,not sure though.

No, it's no different than any other MY. If I'm not mistaken, the tint (a redish tint, I believe) is in the clearcoat. Not too perceiveable to the naked eye, but there in the paint code, I suppose.

Magnetic Red and Millenium Yellow have a tinted clearcoat. That is the reason for the additional cost for those colors. The clearcoat isn't completely clear. It is tinted to give the paint more depth.

I was going to say the clearcoat is tinted.

millenium yellow, mag red are both a 3 step process, primer, basecoat, and tinted clearcoat, very labor intensive and a real bit%& to match.
