"Purple Smash" Corvette paint info needed!

If you've ever been to the Corvette Museum, there is a 91 Corvette ZR-1 nicknames "Purple Smash". This was painted by AKZO.
I'm looking for any information regarding this paint. I've contacted the museum and they were no help. I've also sent email to AKZO and never heard back. I've done countless searches on the net for info and still nothing.
This is the car and the info on it:



If anyone has info on this paint, please post it!

(Also... I'm not looking for Chromalusion. I've got that)

Sounds like the same paint, just not as drastic a color of it.

Chromalusion I mean.

No, this is a flip flop type of paint. Chromalusion is a prizmatic type of paint and does not contain pigment.

I don't think I can help much, but the British car manufacturer TVR paints their cars in Reflex paint that looks similar. It isn't a chromalusion type either, their paint has pigment.
