Paint code 994L? What year C5s???
Anyone know what year C5's had paint code 994L?
I searched, but only one thread comes up, in which two people with 2004 models had this code. Anyone with a different year?
They said it's called " light tarnished silver". The name isn't as important as the code, as GM often give the public one name, while using a different name in their database.
To clarify, a paint code not the same as an RPO code. It's a 4 or 5 character alphanumeric code located on the sticker in the glove box after the letters "BC/CC".
Thanks

According to the paint code listing on the Corvette Action Center site, 2004 is the only year that color was used on the C5.

Patches is correct -- that color -- also known in Corvette-speak as Machine Silver -- was only used on the C5 for one year -- 2004 -- the final year for the C5. Machine Silver was also available on the C6 for several subsequent years.
I've long thought that GM worried that Corvette owners wouldn't like the name Light Tarnished Silver and chose the more masculine Machine Silver instead.
