Does anyone have a car painted original '73-'74 marathon blue L96M they could post? It is my cars original color though a previous owner chose to have it painted silver and there are only a few (under the gas tank ect.) spots where I can see the original color but it is in too poor of condition to get a good idea of what it really looks like. I could only find one on the internet, actually 2 but I am pretty sure the other is Alaska Blue and miss labeled. I am painting soon and do not even know if the "silver" is the real L96D silver ect. It is a huge job to tear everything off the car for a solid paint job and just want to be well informed.
I found it never u mind..... |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) If you look at the top 914 above - you'll see that it incorporates just about the entire range of colors seen in all of the other samples - from the lighter more silver along the fender tops, to the deeper/richer blue at rear deck lid & front edge of the front deck lid. That's exactly what the proper 3 coat paint is supposed to do, & why Porsche charged extra for it. If the painter goes too far either way - to a lighter/silver or deeper-blue, &/or only does a 1 or 2 step paint job, then it won't look right & will appear more flat, as the Visalia one & some of the others do in the photos. It's like that pearlescant paint which is SUPPOSED to change colors when you look at them. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) |
