Default Paint - Special Colors

Does anyone know if the Corvette Plant will do special request colors, similar to the paint to sample programs of other manufacturers?

It is fun to dream sometimes, but that's all it is.
If you are trying to decide what factory color to order, I bet there's going to be a paint color poll coming soon.

Why would anyone want a special color when there are so many grays to pick from ?

That's funny - the last couple of years, every time they announce "new colors" coming - I'm like great, what shade of gray will this one be!!!
So far, I've been right about half of the time...

Will some one please buy the design team a box of crayons - preferably the big one with at least 64 colors!!!

I've not heard of the plant offering custom paint colors. You can ask, but expect the answer to be no.

The problem is, none of the new colors that have been on the C7 that push the envelope have sold at more than 4% - in contrast, it seems whatever the medium to dark new gray is, it is always a top 4 seller - close to the big three: white, black and torch red.

have used BeadMaker for years. Buy by the gallon from AutuGeek. Besides cars in Florida I use it on metal railings, metal doors and patio furniture
