From my reading Galaxy or Quick silver was only used on 1 year standard C5 Corvette ? was it 2003 ? and in 2001-2003 the C5 Z06 had it in those 3 years ?

Thanks......

Here's a nice summary of colors/years:

Thanks but what I am curious to know is were any of the regular base / regular model C5 Vettes the same silver as the Z06 Galaxy silver and if so what year or years .

From my research it looks like only 2003 may be a match ?

The paint code for the quicksilver and galaxy silver metallic appear to be the same 12u Wa519f (at least as far as the touch up paint is concerned). From the resource link I referenced, it appears that quicksilver (I was not able to see this color as applied to the C5 referred to as galaxy silver metallic) color was used on several years of C5 production (01-03). I own a '01 quicksilver convertible.

I actually like the pewter color and would have been just as happy with a pewter as the quicksilver. As per PM, here is my quicksilver.

Thanks , I like those.........I like the car with out the strip down the middle. Thats a real clean car. Too me it needs bigger rims and tires but other than that it is golden.

My old 2001 QSLVR. I miss it...

One of the problems with these lists is that not all colors were available for the whole model year. When I ordered my '98 in the summer of '97, there were only a handful of colors available - presumably the others got added as the year progressed.

If I try to match a HT to a quicksilver Vert car the paint will be real hard to make a match ?
