If it is not one of those two colors, it's not stock.

2002 Exterior paint
I've searched some sites and trying to identify a color. This is the stock paint for a 2002 C5 Convertible that a friend has. No haven't looked at the code yet for it. It is a shade of red...not a mag red II and not a red like for the special anniversary edition but somewhere in between. What color is it? I have not seen it in any reference yet. Ony reds I have read are torch red and mag red II. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Bill

Look at the Service Parts Identification sticker in the glovebox. At the bottom of the label, there will be a "WA" number. You can then go here and page down to the 2002 MY.
Torch Red (RPO code 70U) will be a WA 9075 and Mag Red II (RPO code 86U) will be WA 379E. These are the only two reds offered in '02.

We have a motion on the floor that there were only 2 reds available, do we have a second?
