Vette(s): 1979 C3 L82 corvette

im located in the newcastle uk,

my car is a 1979 corvette L82
paint coded 52L corvette Yellow.
i need the paint formula for this color.
I could buy the paint from the US but it doesnt make much sense if i can get the basecoat mixed here in the uk.
I could get a body part matched over here but the paint is faded due to sunlight and i would like to have the car back to original color.
your help so far on other issues has been great.
The knowledge available on this forum is immense
thanks again look forward to your responses

Go here and get the factory codes.  http://www.corvettepaintcodes.com/
 
Takes the codes to your automative paint supplier.  They should be able to use those codes to mix your yellow.
