It's not on the sticker on the door, unless I'm missing something. Can someone point me in the right direction please. Thanks.

Try your glove box.

I tried the glove box, but there are just a bunch of numbers. Nothing that says paint code.

The color code should be on the glove box as an RPO Code.

The RPO Code for a 2008 black corvette is 41U.

Here is a link with RPO codes listed: C6 Corvette Registry - 2008 Facts

It's the last bunch of numbers on your glove box sticker. Since my car's also black, should read BC/CC(base coat/clear coat) U(upper)8555. Industry standard code would be WA8555. GM's been using this black for awhile, as my C5 wore it too. If your car had a factory lower accent color, you'd see another L(lower) paint code listed, too. If you use Dupli-Color lacquer touch up, no clear is really needed. If a factory pack two part urethane, you'll need a clear coat for proper shine.
