Can someone please tell me where I can find the paint colour code for my car.

As I need to get some paint mixed for stone chips.

It is a year 2000 model and is Yellow.

Thanks in advance

Surely its beside your VIN number, not sure where that is on these new fangled Corvettes though!

The GM code for a 2000 in Millennium Yellow is 79U - you'll find that it's one of the last sets of numbers on the sticker inside your glovebox. You need to get this translated by a company who can mix paints - for example, for my 2003 in yellow the ICI code is WA-423G.

It's all here:

The code (79U as C5RagTop said) is located along with all your option codes on a sticker inside the glove box lid.

I may be wrong but I think you can actually get touch-up sticks from GM.....

Having looked in the glovebox at the sticker,The bottom sticker is marked BC/CC U423G 193.

So is it correct that the paint colour of my car is
79U423G 193

The 193 refers to the interior colour code I think.
