Default Paint Code Q.

I have a "Quicksilver or Pewter" 2001
I tried to take a picture of the sticker in the glovebox but could'nt get one good enough to post.
I can figure out the interior #923 being LG or light Grey
And the paint codes according to the Black Book would be either
11 = Light Pewter Metallic
12 = Quicksilver Metallic
I don't see on the sticker where it's telling me which one it is.
Anybody tell me where on that sticker exactly it is, I mean there's a bunch of numbers on that thing,
H-E-L-P! PLEASE!

At the bottom of the list of RPO codes on your glovebox sticker, you will see:

BC/CC _____

Where I put the underline above is what the paint code will be , you should see either

519F (Quicksilver)

or,

382E (Pewter)



And if that is your car in your avatar, it appears to be Quicksilver.

Yes! That is the car I'm talking about but I have the
382E after the BC/CC so it would be Pewter then.
I am buying a license plate filler they call it from Corvette Central and wanted to paint to match, Thanks for the help.
In the Corvette Black Book they just had listed 11 or 12 for the color
No wonder I was confused, At any rate Thanks

Pics can be deceiving I guess.

You're right, My camera is taking really bad pics anymore, Plus it was overcast that day. I need to get that sucker out in some nice sunny summer days and get some good pics.
