CLEAR COAT IS REQUIRED WITH THIS PAINT

To ensure your paint repair blends in perfectly, you'll need to apply a clear coat over the color coat. While AutomotiveTouchup paint products are custom mixed to perfectly match the color of your 1981 Chevrolet Corvette, we use the same basecoat/clearcoat system as your factory specs. You can add a clear coat to your order on the next step. The color code will be located on a sticker named Parts Identification. The code can start with BC/CC followed by a U, or a WA with a four digit number/letter combination. We use the WA format for simplicity, your code may have a U. WA8555 is the same as U8555.

Why The Two-Step Paint System?

Your 1981 Chevrolet Corvette is painted at the factory with a high quality basecoat/clearcoat system. This two-step paint system consists of step one, the basecoat, which is your car’s actual color, and step two, the clearcoat, the specially formulated clear paint that protects the base color and provides the luster and deep shine your vehicle came with when new. AutomotiveTouchup products faithfully reproduce your vehicle manufacturer’s basecoat/clearcoat system.

Here's what our customers are saying about our Touch Up Paint:

Gary Pearce, owner of a 1981 Chevrolet Corvette from Fawn Grove, PA

Received my paint order from you, I ran a color swatch test and it matched my 81 corvette exactly. Tried different products from 3 different suppliers with no luck, not even close. I have a 1971 corvette I am starting on this summer for restoration and will be using Automotive Touchup again. Thanks again for working with me on my project. !!!👍👍

Jim B, owner of a 1981 Chevrolet Corvette from Middleboro, MA

Have a 1981 Corvette that was painted this Subaru color in 1991. Very difficult to purchase this touch up paint color , even Subaru dealers have discontinued. Your color match is perfect! This is the second time I purchased from your company and both times results were perfect matches on color even better the fast service was outstanding. I was hoping for a quick delivery because car shows are starting up in our area and car needed a little touch up. 😎

Richard H, owner of a 1981 Chevrolet Corvette from Englewood, FL

Great paint match for my 1981 Corvette even though it was painted over 7 years ago

Melvin M, owner of a 1981 Chevrolet Corvette from Naples, FL

I ordered some touch-up paint for my 1981 Corvette and through my own fault, it wasn't a perfect match. I made a 2nd order and it was perfect. I even got a phone call from a representative named Mona(?) to confirm that I had the correct one. I'm very happy that I used this company.

Troy B, owner of a 1981 Chevrolet Corvette from Yukon, OK

Great quality. Paint is perfect match and shipped very quickly! I won’t buy from any place but here!

Park M, owner of a 1981 Chevrolet Corvette from Middle River, MD

Thanks perfect match. Used it to touch up some very small stone chips on my 81 corvette. Only problem is when I went back to apply clear coat I couldn’t locate them. Will mark them next time with blue painters tape.

Patrick C, owner of a 1981 Chevrolet Corvette from Athens, TN

The paint was a perfect match for my 81 Corvette.

Dahl T M, owner of a 1981 Chevrolet Corvette from Tucson, AZ

Excellent!!! Paint correct color & easy to work with thanks.

Bruce B, owner of a 1981 Chevrolet Corvette from Puyallup, WA

I am a repeat customer for the simple reason of the quality product. The color match is perfect and, as always, the ease of use is tremendous. Thanks.

Bruce B, owner of a 1981 Chevrolet Corvette from Puyallup, WA

Extremely satisfied. Easy to apply and the color matched perfectly. Thank you.

Jeff M, owner of a 1981 Chevrolet Corvette from Rowley, MA

I purchased some GM color code 38 (Dark Metallic Blue) to touch up the lower rear bumper of my 81 Corvette. The color match was perfect! It looks great! I will definitely intend to purchase more products from AT! I placed my order over the phone and the customer service was tremendous. I am recommending AT to all my friends that are working on the restorations!

Robert G, owner of a 1981 Chevrolet Corvette from Hoffman Estates, IL

Automotive Touchup provided me with a high quality product and an inexpensive way to achieve what might have cost me hundreds of dollars to touch up minor imperfections on my recently purchased 1981 Corvette. In addition to that, my paintjob is a two tone silver over charcoal gray and automotive touchup got both colors right. One bottle arrived cracked and customer service sent me another bottle...no questions asked. I would definitely recommend AT to anyone in need of touch up paint for their vehicle.
