Default Pewter Paint Code Question

Those of you with the Light Pewter Metallic Corvettes. Two questions, does the exterior pewter color match the interior pewter color? Also does anyone have the GM paint code for pewter? I have a Quicksilver Metallic coupe and want to paint my rollbar the same color as the interior which is pewter. Thanks
Bob

I have a can of GM spray paint . Pewter color code 11 Part # 12378055. Cost me $8.95 at the local Chevrolet dealer. I could stop by and we can try to cover as much of the roll bar as we can to see if you like it :rolleyes: ..it is metalic.

I don't think it does, maybe kind of close but not exact.

If it helps I've used the GM spray can pewter and it matched fine. But I used a light gray primer first then multiple coats. Finished with clear coat. Might be cheaper/easier than trying to mix and match.

Bob; although I have never done this for my C5, I've purchased interior matching spray paint from the dealer for a few of my other vehicles.
