Default Mako Shark Question

Can anybody tell me what the color code of the mako Shark was? Or where I might find it?

Thanks

The Mako Shark was a one-off Styling exercise, with custom-mixed paint done in-house at GM Styling; doubt if it was even distantly related to any production color.

If you have a good picture of it, take it to a paint store with you. The better shops can now place a sample in a machine that can sample the color, and spit out a code to match it.

I'm not sure if it will work with a picture, but it's worth a try.
