I'm a new 914 owner and a new member to 914 World. I have a question. I am restoring a 1971 914/4 with a paint code of L80e (Light Ivory). When I'm ready to repaint is there any harm in painting the car a different color, or should it be repainted the original color. The car is completly dissassembled, so the trunks, interior, wheel wells and engine compartment will be painted. Does anyone have an thought. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif)
