Hi, I am new to the website. My teenagers and I are going to get our 1972 914 painted and I am trying to understand the color "Guards Red". I was told by our body guy that there could be variations of the color. So I called the Porsche dealership here in town and they told me to use the code LM3A and possibly L80K. Can anyone confirm that these are the right codes for Guards Red? Thank you very much and it's good to find you all.

Don't think Guards Red was ever a factory color on a 914... but having said that, my car was painted Guard's Red a long time ago by a previous owner. He said it was the factory Porsche color L80K, also known as India Red (or Indischrot in German). I love the color on my 914! Here it is (or course, on a flat bed tow truck...!)  |
