Glasurit 22 Line?, Looking for experience or availability Options

[Van B]

Seems like this would be the best hope of replicating the nuance of my L13M Saturn yellow that was badly missed with its previous paint job. But, I can’t seem to find anyone who can source it or much less has experience with it.

Anyone out there in 914 World have experience, advice, or sourcing tips they care to pass along? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/yellow914.JPG)

BTW, I worked for BASF 1986-99. Got the original Zambezi Green formulas from AG dept in both VW and Porsche versions. Rather different formula for each. Provided them to Jejj B; believe they are posted on his web site.

i see the reason for that after a quick search.
only on 914s in the 70s.
comes back on 1980 911 SC. probably an entirely different type of paint being used?
but they have maintained the color/shade precisely despite the different chemistry?
apparently it remains a special choice color you can still get, or could still get until recently on your porsche. believe its called forest green on later 911s which was the name given to it on ROW 914s.



gives you faith that glasurit can reproduce saturn yellow even if the paint chemistry has entirely altered since 1974.

i was just wandering around down here with my old showroom colors brochure.
i had no idea how accurate it was (still is). its been kept out of the sunlight for 50 years.

damn near a perfect match for the unfaded relatively un-aged inners on my car.
the germans were good.



and much to my surprise the little sample of saturn yellow was doing its trick of changing color as i moved from the south light in the garage (which is like USA north light) and out into direct sunlight. greenish in garage, but went yellow out in the sun.

wild color. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
