I'd use the model year & paint code rather than a color description to look up the correct color.

Hi,
I have an '02 Speedway White coupe. I ordered some GM touch-up paint from West Coast Corvettes. The color on the bottle is 40U. Perfect match.

Artic White is a bright white. Speedway is more pearl looking when along side of the Artic White.

Try the dealer. They can order it for you if they don't have it in stock.
