Your Paint Color Profile

10-910 (1972) - Classic White

The Look

This is the quintessential canvas for 1970s performance. While many owners chose loud oranges or yellows for their 1972 Corvette, this shade offered a cleaner, more sophisticated silhouette that let the dramatic C3 body lines do the talking. It is a crisp, bright white that lacks the muddy or cream undertones found in modern luxury pearls. Since your Chevy has likely spent five decades under the sun, the existing finish might have shifted toward a slightly warmer tone, making your repair a vital part of restoring that original factory pop.

Technical Details

You are working with a solid finish. There are no metallic flakes or pearl additives hiding in this mixture, which is a massive win for your repair. Because there is no "flop" or shimmer to worry about, you do not have to fret over the angle of the pigments. However, solid whites are honest. They show every bit of road tar and grease, but they are the best at hiding those tiny spiderweb scratches that plague darker cars. Before you spray or dab Chevrolet Classic White (check for code 10-910 (1972)), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. Solid pigments are heavy and like to settle at the bottom of the container; if you do not mix them thoroughly, the color will come out translucent rather than opaque.

Best Practices

To verify your match, look for the trim tag. If you are driving a Corvette, check the driver-side door hinge pillar. For other 1972 models like the Chevelle or Nova, look at the cowl area under the hood near the windshield wipers. When you are ready to work in your garage or a patch of shade, always test the color on the included card first to see how it sits against your aged paint. Whether you are using a nozzle or a brush, keep the container moving to ensure an even flow. If you are filling a deeper chip, use thin layers and allow plenty of drying time between them. Building the paint up slowly prevents the "blob" look and ensures the repair sits flush with the rest of your bodywork.

How to Find Your Chevrolet's Color Code

Chevrolet did not make it easy to find the color code. Over the years they used many different locations and did not standardize the color plate, so it can be hard to locate. Usually it is in the glove box or the spare tire well; otherwise, the search may extend everywhere. The typical code is 51/WA316N, usually preceded by BC/CC. Two tone codes can appear as BC/CC U316N or BC/CC L316N (U for Upper, L for Lower).

Will absolutely order from this company again.

After ordering touch-up paint from Lexus I was still waiting for it a month later. If they'd told me upfront it would take that long I wouldn't have ordered in the first place. Paint Scratch was recommended by a friend who restores cars. Easy ordering, fair price and fast shipping. The color match is great especially considering my car is a 2012. Will absolutely order from this company again. Reason I chose this business: Lexus collision repair and a local collision repair. Will use paint less dent removal and touch up chipped paint myself. Reason I chose this product: Spouse sideswiped passenger side of car while backing out of garage. Mostly plastic transfer from his wheel well trim but pressure creased and cracked the paint causing a bare strip 1/8 wide x 4" long below door handle. Scratches on door handle and a few small chips on both doors.

Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans

Used Paint Scratch metallic custom mixed spray cans paint on a hood panel with excellent coverage and texture over the surface. Metallic paint can be very unforgiving out of a spray can, sputtering pigmentation dots on the panel being sprayed and thus ruining the paint job. No such issues with Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint spray cans. Paint sprayed strong and evenly till the last drop of paint in the can. Shipping time was faster than expected. Reason I chose this business: Having tried other brands of custom mixed metallic paint with terrible results, sputtering pigmentation tint dots from the spray nozzle in spite of vigorously shaking of can prior to application and loss of propellant rendering the lower fifth of the can's paint useless, Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint sprays out beautifully and strong all the way to the last gram of paint in the can. Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans for automotive restoration. Thank you Paint Scratch.
