I have a Saturn Yellow 73' Someone has resprayed it in a non-correct yellow. They did a terrible job. I have found a couple of chipped areas in the trunk that show a greenish yellow (to green for Saturn yellow) color under the yellow. Weird color for a primer, does not act/look like bondo. Did the trunk area match the exterior for a 73' 1.7 car? When I repaint I want it to be correct. Is it possible that some PO changed the paint code plate?

It's easy to change the paint plate, but tougher to repaint certain areas. I'd look around the fuel tank or the passenger compartment under upholstery to try to find the original color then check the color chart to see what was available in the year of manufacture. Though Porsche did have paint to sample programs back in the day, few if any 914s had this option.
