Just got my first vette, it's a 2001 coupe, dark Bowling Green Metallic with oak interior and 53k one owner car. Needless to say we are absolutely crazy over this car. It's in great condition with only a few paint chips in front any suggestions on how to repair? Thx

Well, Merry Christmas to you!
Welcome to the Forum.
I just tried the Dr Color Chip on my Black 02, I think its a good product and really easy to do.
Good luck with the car.

Congratz on your new ride. Dark Bowling Green Metallic was available only on 2582 (1.04%) of all C5s made, and only in years 2000 and 2001.

Great ride, and welcome to the forum!
