How Many Here Changed The Colour Of A Corvette?

[CaptainK]

My car was originally a blue car - whatever blue Chevy was using in 1968? Lemans Blue? Now it is still blue, but a different blue - apparently a Dodge colour with code SBE or something, which I think is what is used on the Dodge Viper GTS.

* You're probably thinking "Why not look at the paint tag on the door for your original paint code?", and that would be a good thought. Alas, they seem to have disappeared with one of the previous owners.

Mine was two tone Anniversary silver / grey - then after the Daytona body it went absolute white with three colours of green stripes and dark green full leather interior - then to tone it down it went dolphin grey with three colours of silver stripes with dark grey leather - then recently after a body off, it went to gris aster with three stripes, a silver, blue and black with light grey leather - the sun is playing tricks here, the stripes are only on the splitter, the side pods and the sides of the ugly tail - all the livery is painted and unbelievably before the gris aster colour

Interesting, thank you for the replies.
Between this and another post elsewhere, it seems changing the colour is more widespread than I perhaps thought.

Does this ever throw up any issues with the DVLA when you advise on the V5 or are they not fussed with such changes?

No problem with the dvla when I changed my colour. When the previous owner registered my car he put the wrong engine number on the paperwork. I thought that getting this changed might be a problem but it wasn't either.

Only if DVLA or the Royal Mail lose your V5 in which case you will be paying for a new one.
