Default Paint code for 2004 silver?

Tag is missing inside my glove box and I need to find the exact paint color GM used. It's a 2004 base model that is like a bright silver (not pewter). Not sure if it's called "Quicksilver" or what...can anyone help? Thank you, pic of my car color is in the avatar.

12U is quick silver. Same as my 03 Coupe. Just painted the nose for the 3rd time. 1st time didn't quite match but got paint mixed at a local parts store. Next time I went with Microfinish LLC NO, LA. Paint kit
Perfect match.

Problem I am having is there are several names, Quicksilver, Galaxy Silver Metallic, Sebring Silver Metallic, Light tarnished Silver Metallic
I'm stuck without that data sheet, ALSO I think the names of the exact same color may be changed from year to year. I see no Quicksilver option for the 2004

The Corvette Black Book shows the 2004 shade of silver as Machine Silver, OEM code #67. It does not show the actual paint code.

Might try Paintref.com I have used that site to look up paint codes in the past. Usually good for looking up any make ,model year vehicle. Will give you GM and other paint brand codes.

I think you can actually get a copy of the original sticker that you're missing from the National Corvette Museum. You would need to provide them the VIN (and maybe proof of ownership). There is a fee for this, but it might be worth it for you.
