914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Paint code

Posted by: ventilator01 Jan 20 2006, 05:08 PM

Would anyone know how to find out the paint code for my 1974 914 2.0, I cant read it in the door jam, its red and I think it is the only red used that year. I just want to get some touch up paint for scratches/chips.
thx
Steve

Well, if you found the metal plate in the driver's door jam and it's not readable...you're sol

unless

it's painted over and then it prolly wouldn't make any difference anyway....

I was able to make it out-- L30E, but yeah the tag has been painted over.

According to McMark's most excellent http://homepage.mac.com/markd/914/colors.html, there were two reds used in '74: Bahia Red (L30E) and Phoenix Red (L32K).
