My 914 was originaly Gemini Blue. Unfortunatly it has since been painted yellow twice and then black. Years ago I was going to change the color to the early metalic blue L98P. Well, 6 years later and after a lot of welding I'm considering other options. I tried to match the Gemini Blue, but the paint shop didn't have a mix code for it so I tried to match it to a genaric PPG color. I think it was biscane blue that was the closest as far as I could tell. Any thoughts or advice? The car is by no means perfect, but I like the idea of sticking with a VW (German at least) paint color. I took the pictures in a few diferent places to try and get a good average. The dark blue is the early metalic blue while the light blue is Gemini. In the decklid hinge it my attempt at a match.

The formula can be had by any PPG dealer. He just has to pick up the phone if he doesn't have it on his computer. The PPG color code for gemini blue is 2373. It is only available in a single stage though. BTDT. If the shop is really good they'll color match it for you in 2 stage.
