What paint code at Le Mans?
Hi all,
New member here after paint colour information please.
As a regular at Le Mans I want to paint my car the same colour as theC7 corvettes that raced there. Does anyone know the paint code? Is it the same yellow as the road cars?
thanks in advance,
Mat

I believe that the race cars were Velocity Yellow - paint code 45. That is a C6 code and to my eye mostly closely matches the race cars. My view of the race cars in person and all of the information that I can find points to the C6 generation Velocity Yellow. You might want to try going directly to the source and check with Pratt and Miller and/or the Corvette Racing Team.
If I am incorrect, feel free to say bad things about me.
Note:
A new yellow came out during the C7 generation, Corvette Racing Yellow Tintcoat. Which happens to be the color of my 2016 C7.R. To me, that color looks to be a lighter hue than the Velocity Yellow and the race cars.
