My C3 is painted C5 Magnetic red. I am having problems finding the color code for some touchup paint...are there any of you C5ers out there that can help me out?

It's not quite that easy. There are different colors of Mag Red. Check out "our" website...

I have an 03 electron blue coupe. When I wanted touch up paint for that, they wanted the vin # of the car. The dealer checked it ,ordered it, and it matched perfectly.Apparently these unusual colors are matched by GM by vin # because there must be diffferent paint batches. The other info from Todd might help. Good luck.

There were 2 variations of Mag Red used on C5's, which doesn't help you much.

But, here ya go for paint codes:

It would either be a WA-127B, or WA-379E
