Decoding Corvette Paint Colors

As Corvettes age, paint can begin to fade or take on a patina – some Corvettes received a new paint job to better fit the vision of the owner. Whatever the reason, it’s not always easy to trust that the color of your Corvette is original. Sometimes, confirming the factory color of your paint turns into a guessing game. Mid America Motorworks has taken the guesswork out of paint colors with this helpful guide of 1953-2020 exterior colors. With this guide, you can easily determine your factory color code and our matching code to make selecting the right paint a breeze.
