Default 2002 Z06 paint code help!

In need to buy touch up paint and would like to know what the paint code is for my 2002 c5 z06 it is silver, I’m guessing the “quicksilver”. After some research I’m thinking it’s 12U or WA519F, is that the same thing? On the website it asks if it is 12,519F, or WA519F. Thanks !

Your exact code or codes should be on your glovebox sticker

The RPO sticker should show 12U for Galaxy Metallic. The WA code would be 519F.

For Valspar paint, the code would be S565 (mfr's code) For DuPont paint, it's B9900; for PPG paint, the code is 5451. Check with area auto paint supply stores to see if they can match the color and mix up either spray cans or small cans of paint. Most shops will also have the pre-mixed touch-up paint with a brush. Quicksilver Metallic was another name for Galaxy Silver.
