Default Nassau Blue paint code

Hi, I need help.....
I want to paint my corvette nassau blue. I was given the paint codes 23 and WA315D. GM tells me that this WA number is not listed on there computer. Could someone who has a car this color check to see if I have the right WA number? Does anyone know if nassau blue is known by a different name? I think that WA348D, called bright blue metallic is close but does not have any pearl additive in it. The body shop is ready to paint so if anyone can help me out I would be forever greatfull..

If you can't find the code, try going to the auto paint and supply shop yourself. They should be able to give you the code and show you a sample.
All you should need is the year and make of car.

That is the problem.. The bodyshop has no Nassau blue listed for 97-00 corvette. It must be known by a different name on the paint chip.

The code on my car is 23U. Have seen it listed on some RPO code guides as Bright Blue. Hope that helps :confused:

Anyway, great choice of color. If there is something I can look at on my car that will help you, send me IM.
