Sometimes, belief actually lines up with reality.

The paint code is WA501Q

Yep, like other parts it is carbon flash.

FWIW I was going to paint my metal perimeter frame meeting SC law and when I put the black frame on the area it looked so close decided that narrow frame would look no different! Has held up on my September 2013 built Z51 and transferred to my 2017 Grand Sport. The original paint looks fine and I'm sure better than my planed, sand, primer and spray paint carbon flash! Returned the carbon flash paint I bought at Autozone!
