You are better off just getting it from your dealer. You can get the paint in spray or brush form.

I bought a tube of touch up when I first bought my car 2 years ago. I was told, GM doesn't stock it anymore & if you find it, it will be old stock sitting on the shelf. That was 2 years ago. Mine was thick then & I haven't need it since. I would order some from Expresspaint.com. I got my paint for the engine compartment there. Matched PERFECT!

How many Nassau Blue C5s were manufactured?

Anyone out there have the stats on how many Nassau Blue Vettes were manufactured? I know it was a rare color. Thanks for your help!

The only numbers I know are on IDA (Idaho corvette club) vette website. I do know that my 199 convertible is 1 of 245 made for 99 & only 6% of convertibles made in 99 had white tops. Good luck.

dealer here wanted $15.50 for a 6oz. can. took the paint number to a body shop supply and they mixed it, and put it in a spray can, 12oz. for $20. .... perfect match

Nassau blue production numbers:

1997: 292
1998: 1,098
1999: 1,034

So not too many. Now if you want a really rare color, look at Aztec Gold. Only 15 produced (difficult color to paint...)

You'd probably get a better match by either getting it from a dealer, an auto paint store or one of the vendors that sells touchup paint for cars like:

• www.corvettepaintcodes.com
• www.expresspaint.com
• www.paintscratch.com
