I'm a new 914 owner and a new member to 914 World. I have a question. I am restoring a 1971 914/4 with a paint code of L80e (Light Ivory). When I'm ready to repaint is there any harm in painting the car a different color, or should it be repainted the original color. The car is completly dissassembled, so the trunks, interior, wheel wells and engine compartment will be painted. Does anyone have an thought. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif)

It really all depends on what you want from it. If you want a factory restoration, go with the original color. If you desire another color and want to go custom, do so. I would assume if you go the "original" route with the factory color it would be worth more should you decide to resell, but if it is just for your personal enjoyment, knock yourself out.
