Default 99 Silver Metallic paint code

I'm getting ready to paint my injector covers and went to expressapint.com only to find they have three silver metallic codes listed (17U/WA670F, 12U/WA672F, 13/WA9021). Where on my car can I find the right code?

Thanks!

For model year 1999, the only silver available was Sebring Silver Metallic, RPO Code 13U and "WA" Paint Code WA-9021. See about 2/3 ways down in the following link for model year 1999 exterior color codes:

1999 Corvette Production and Performance

You can also see all the 1999 model year paint codes at the bottom of the following link:

1999 Corvette Specifications

The "WA" paint code will also show toward the very bottom of the Service Parts Identification (RPO) Label which should be on the inside of the glove box lid for your model year. In the following example, U 382E is the "WA" paint code for this model year 2000 car which is painted Light Pewter Metallic.

Hope this helps!

Be sure it is not Pewter, it looks very much like silver. Code 11U I believe.

Sorry to resurrect a zombie thread but is this Sebring Silver the exact same shade / paint as 97 and 98?

I ask because 99 is listed Sebring Silver and 97 and 98 are listed Sebring Silver Metallic.

I love the color on the 98 I have seen- just want to make sure it’s the same on the 99!
