Its the old Machine Silver from the C6 Gen. It was replaced by Blade Silver in '09. What goes around comes around.

If it's the hue on the C8 race car, that appears to be a smidgen darker than machine silver. Although the latter was darker than blade.

Derek, there probably isn't anything you can do; you're likely along for the ride, so to speak. If BG starts producing again in early May, yours might still get built. Hang in there, buddy.

Ah dang. I forgot you were gunning for HTC. Yeah - that'll be tough sledding.

I never did find out the deal on Wes. Hope he's doing well. He was always great in his dealings with me.

Comparatively small color change from Blade. Same with the Red. IMO, not a bombshell color change development from 2020 if these are the only moves. They could have done so much more...

Blade Silver was getting long in the tooth

My 2010 Camaro was SIM, Silver Ice Metallic. It also is the exact same paint code as Blade Silver. I was surprised the new C8 in Silver, was still Blade silver. Would have thought they would launch a new Silver for a brand new model! Seems they waited a year, no idea why they are doing in 2021 vs 2020? Having said that, I ordered Blade Silver. Since no other Silver was offered.
