Can dealerships still get touch up paint?

Bright Red... those GM guys were really clever back then...

really? I coulda sworn my 91 was torch red but i've been wrong before.

Matching it will probably take a laser, that reads wavelength, I think, which will account for the sun's discoloration of the paint.

What's the paint RPO code?


Is there a C4 RPO decoder on the boards here?

You don't do touch-up by name. The RPO code is 81 and the WA 8774 is the information most frequently used. The WA 8774 was used for many years in GM but NOT all year Corvette. The touch-up you need will be on most dealers shelves but AGE may be a problem. You might need to add some reducer to get a reasonable consistency back.

The code 81 and WA 8774 can be used at most of the A-chain stores also.

81U is the GM paint code, I believe its still available through a GM dealer.

My experience has been that the dealer can get it. However, the paint might be in a solid state. So old that it is dried out. Check it before you pay for it.
