Default quicksilver paint color

I have been looking to get into the corvette market for a little while and I have located several that are possibilities but they all involve some travel time to look at them. I like the looks of the pewter and quicksilver corvettes in pictures and I have seen the pewter paint in person but would like to see the quicksilver in person. Is there anyone in or around Toledo Ohio that has a quicksilver corvette that I could stop by and look at their car just to see exactly what the paint looks like?

I'm nowhere near you, but if it helps...I had an '01 QS and always wished I'd gone with the Pewter after seeing it.

Yeah, thats why I would like to see one close to home so if I buy one sight unseen I won't be surprised.

No one in Toledo has one? Even for a 30 to 60 minute drive away I would like to take a look, Thanks.

I love my Quick Silver. Only other color I like better is Speedway White
Bump for the QS

Both colors are nice and I like both colors. But, the Pewter does seem to have more texture to it and a little more appeal IMO. In different lighting it seems to have a little chameleon quality in person at least.
I don't think I'd let the color choice between the two be the make/break point if I found a solid car worth purchasing though.
Good luck with your search.

Take the 100 mile ride and go to Bud's chevrolet in Saint Mary's, ohio.

His inventory shows one of each color in stock.

Make a day of it.

So far as I can tell, Quicksilver, Machine Silver, and Sebring Silver are near as dammit.
