Default Black paint code?

Does anyone know the paint code for a black 2002 Z06 (I think all the GM black is the same)? I have a small chip I want repaired so I need to know which Black paint pen to get. Every where I look they have two different blacks and neither are GM black but "universal black", but one is a "flat black".

I would assume (hate that word) the other one but if you have a black paint pen then please look and let me know the numbers on it Thanks guys

There is a 4 digit alpha numeric code at the bottom of the sticker on your glove compartment door. That is the real paint code that the dealer use.

for example for my vette 352E is the code I have and other website it is WA-352E

So here is a code from Corvette Action Center
Black WA-8555

41U is the RPO code. The paint code should be WA-8555. See color options in the following link:

2002 Corvette Production

Also, as Zilla mentioned above, you can find the paint code on your car's Service Parts Identification (RPO) Label on inside of the glove box lid.

Sorry, I actually don't need the paint code, but the code for the "paint pen/brush" bottles. They don't have a specific GM black touch up bottle at auto stores, but they just have the 2 generic/universal bottles I mentioned in my first post.
