I'll start it off.
my first white 914 was a 6 with a 2.7RS and then my current build... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) both of these cars were orignally L80E. the 6 was repainted before I bought it in L908 (Grand Prix White) and I decided I liked the brighter L908 for the '75 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/white914.jpg) Attached image(s) |

Looks like painters look up teh wrong white pretty often. Here is another light ivory gone GP. #5 down also looks like they used VW's "Ivory" or another "off white" instead of true L80E Light Ivory! The question is always whether it was an owner's choice, or painter's/paint supplier's mistake? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Dan made the choice on his current resto, which is why he named the topic "...white 914s" & not Light Ivory or L80E 914s, but this is not the O&H Forum. As to white vs. black 914's, then you get into all those brown, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, silver & purple, etc. types wanting equal time! I vote for separate threads on each color so you can more easily find the color in which you're interested! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I would say for the most part it is the paint code translation by the different paint brands. Very hard to cross a paint code from an old laquer formula into whatever new 2 pack etc paints. My MGA is supposed to be Olde English White... looks more like beige or cream... but hey it is a 50 year old paint code. |
