Okay so this is my flares 73 I picked up saturday. It is a 73 with a build date of 12/72 & has a strange paint code of 98. That shows a custom porsche color. In the gas compartment I'm guessing that is the original color? Any way to find out what the color is supposed to be?

The fg needs to be sanded down to the gelcoat to see where the cracks are and exactly how long they are. The fg needs to be sanded down on the bottom about half way through and repaired with mat and resin. Then the top needs to be sanded down to where the new repair is and the top repaired with mat and resin. Then a skim coat of filler or gelcoat needs to cover it all on the top or fg strands will print through after awhile in the paint. If there is any sign of a line or fracture where they are put on you should take them off and rebond them to the body right if you want it to last.
