The new mid-engine Chevrolet Corvette C8 is here, spreading its high-performance goodness from the dyno to the drag strip. Now, information on the upcoming 2021 Corvette has leaked onto the internet, including insights into upcoming paint colors and stripe options.
As tipped in a recent report from Corvette Blogger, which cites recent social media posts for the leak, the 2021 Corvette will get two new exterior colors, specifically Silver Flare (GSJ) and Red Mist Tintcoat (GPH). Both colors will arrive as replacements for existing hues offered with the 2020 Corvette, namely Blade Silver metallic (GAN) and Long Beach Red Metallic Tintcoat (G1E), respectively.

We already got a taste for the Silver Flare color courtesy of the Corvette C8.R race car, which dropped cover sporting the new hue alongside a special race livery treatment. Meanwhile, Red Mist Tintcoat is said to be a combination of Crystal Red Metallic and Magnetic Red Metallic. Red Mist Tintcoat can also be seen as a color chip at automotivetouchup.com, which is listed as Tactical Pearl 1, but carries the same RPO code (GPH) as the new 2021 Corvette’s Red Mist Tintcoat color.
To note, we’ve covered the 2020 Corvette’s various color options in-depth in a previous post, so check that out for more information on what the current model as to offer.

- Full Length Racing Stripe – Orange

Where’s the purple?
Waiting for my Long Beach Red Metallic Tintcoat C8.
I have a deposit on the C8 ZO6. Love the sound of the new Red Mist Tintcoat, I was hoping they would coming out with a paint like that, really cool that it is a mixture of Magnetic Red Tintcoat and Crystal Red Tintcoat, being that I have a 1999 Magnetic Red Corvette and a 2012 Crystal Red ZL1. The new ZO6 should look great parked between them.
Now just need a carbon fiber wing, carbon fiber ground effects, and carbon fiber “WHEELS”. Thank you.
And for the world to be back to normal, be safe.
Has all those cars and can’t compose a sentence. Braggart!
Lois. What is your problem ?
My point was that I thought it was pretty cool that the new color was made from two colors that I really like and have cars with both paints.
Because I have 7 Chevys and a deposit on a new C8 I thought this would be a fun website to follow. I’m on different websites for my boat, bikes, and cars. I have never had a remake made about me like Lois made. If I don’t meet the standards of GMAuthority’s grammar and if people think I’m bragging because I have worked hard to have nice things I will be more than happy to unsubscribe. Thank you
