It's finally at the bodyshop, need paint code/name info Options

[Type 47]

After waiting since last May I had to find another shop to do my car...I did that and now they have the car and are going to have paint & bodywork done in 4 weeks. So I need some paint info...

If I can't (havn't so far) find a front chrome bumper I will have to put painted ones on...what color black are the painted bumpers (74')?

What color black is the suspension?

I'm still debating on the color of the car...original L041 black or Signal Orange (like my 1st 914 I bought in 77') I picked up a cool 1/18 die cast of a 914/6 Saturday that is Signal Orange...it's been telling me "paint is orange" ever since I put is on the shelf.

Any opinons on the Signal Orange with the sail panels and roof painted the same color? (black pretty much looks the same)

I wanted Signal Orange or Tangerine but someone said factory black cars are special in some way.

Color change would have been hard since I didn't rotisserie the car.

I think there are fewer black cars than others...I have some 1970's body repair that will always be evident when the rear trunk mat is pulled up so originallity is not critical here

My 2nd 914 was signal orange if I ever get another I would make sure it was that color. I love the contrast with the black top and sail panels. The stock look is sweet but I would upgrade to 5 lug wheels on anything 914

I plan on upgrading at some point...it has a "like new" set of ATS wheels on it now...plan is to get it all back together then think about the 5 lug Fuchs.
