    Does anyone know the color code of classic silver? Any recommendations on what touch-up paint to get?

    The easiest is probably just to get a little tube at the dealer, bring in your registration or vin number and they can match the color code so you get the correct color for your car.

    Thanks. I bought the car from another state, so I have to buy it on my own now. I would think the color is universal for all 2017 Prime classic silver.

    It's on the driver's door decal, though it is VERY subtle. We're Classic Silver Metallic, and the code is 1F7, likely same as yours. Does the Prime brochure describe it as CSM? Note: that colour should also be a perfect match for silver rims and/or wheel covers.

    The dealership should have it in stock, or you can order from the great god Amazon. If it's the touch-up pen format, with colour coat at one end and clearcoat at the other, I'd advise to avoid putting the clearcoat on after: in my experience it lifted the colour coat, even after several days cure time.

    Here's ours. Being Canadian model it might be a bit different, but you can see "1F7" in there. Very obscure though:

    Very helpful, 1F7 it is. What is CSM?
