Default Difference between Sebring and Galaxy Silver?

Does anyone know how much of a difference there is between the Sebring Silver color and the Galaxy Silver is?

I found a spoiler that is in Galaxy Silver and my C5 is Sebring.

I know it won't be perfect. I would love to know if it would be noticable to the eye if looked at briefly.

Unless it was also called something else, Galaxy Silver was never a C5 color so, I'm not sure how much help the folks here can be. Best case scenario, my guess is that there's a good chance you'll see some difference. I'd plan on having it professionally painted if you want an excellent match.

Did not know Galaxy was not a C5 color.

Learn something new everyday!

I was thinking I would end up getting it painted just because it would bother me if I looked at it.

Galaxy Silver actually was used on vettes....... Corvette called it QuickSilver Metallic.....the exact same color , used on other GM cars, especially Chevy called it Galaxy Metallic.Check the paint codes and mixing formulas with your nearest automotive paint suppler....you'll find they are same...... But..it is different than Sebring Silver
