914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Hey Seattle area guys...

Posted by: Pnambic Mar 3 2004, 12:12 PM

I have a friend (he's one of those 9eleben guys) looking for a shop to mix some paint for him to respray the bumpers on his Grand Prix White '94 Carrera 4. I don't know the paint code. He says last time he tried, the shop didn't get the paint quite right.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

He's in Bellevue.
The local Porsche dealership says the paint code should be "908".

It is hard to match paint from the code. Meaning if the car has seen the sun the paint colour has changed a bit. It's also better to buy a larger amount when matching paint. A drop of tint goes a longer way in a small (pint) batch. Just food for thought.

Any Wessco paint shop will custom match the car color. You will have to drive the car to the shop

Paint and body shop supply distributor here in Portland Oregon, you take a part off of the car, gas lid on a 911 and the computer match the paint. Used them many times, they are the best.
