No, they are different shades. Artic White is 10U and Speedway White is 40U. You can go on www.corvetteactioncenter.com to get the different paint codes.

I understand that the OPTION code number is different, but I need to be absolutely sure that the paint color (shade) is different.

I believe that arctic white is a whiter and brighter white.

if you get them side by side you can clear see the difference.

Thanks for all the replies and info, guys. Now I know for sure. Looks like I wont' be buying that Speedway White top for my Arctic White coupe. Don't want to spent the extra for new paint.
