I hate resorting to this site for obvious questions. But I have scoured the internet for a couple of cans of custom color-matching spray paint, and I have come up empty.
I have a 1976, and my color code is L31M. I don't have a spray gun, but I could purchase one. I have a compressor. I'm only repairing my front trunk; one can of paint should be plenty. Please recommend where I can order the paint from. Thanks, Victor ![]() |

I imagine Chicago has dozens of automotive paint supply houses.
I use a local supplier, English Color. The girls there are so nice, helpful and knowledgeable that I couldn't imagine doing some of the paintwork I've done without them. Whenever I need a bit of primer, paint, tape, sandpaper or whatever, they are always there to give me advice based on my budget and what I'm trying to accomplish. The color matches have been spot on (the machine gets close, but it really takes a trained eye and the proper light) and if it isn't, they make it right. Personal contacts are just as helpful in the restoration World as they are in the Porsche community. |
