Default Paint Codes

Does anyone know the proper name for the silver paint used in 99?

Its a bright silver, not pewter. Just looking for the correct name of the paint.

For future reference, 13U is the Regular Production Option (RPO) Code for Sebring Silver Metallic. The Manufacturer's paint code is WA-9021. The following link lists the MFG paint codes for model year 1999:

1999 Corvette Production and Performance

Also, the MFG paint code is listed at the bottom of the Service Parts Identification (RPO) Label on the inside of your glove box lid. There you should see "BC/CC" which stands for base coat/clear coat. Directly to the right of that you should find the "WA" (car manufacturer's) paint code which in your case for Sebring Silver Metallic should read "U 9021".

In the example below, "U 382E" is the "WA" paint code for this car which is painted Pewter Metallic.
