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? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) Thanks in advance. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

He's in Bellevue.
The local Porsche dealership says the paint code should be "908". (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |

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 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

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.
