I've got a painter lined up. Going to paint the 73 signal orange. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mueba.gif)

Anyone have a DuPont paint code equivalent of L20E signal orange?

Or suggestions on where/how to get it?

L98B is the paint code on my badge, and my car does appear to be metallic viper green. The only place I have been able to track it down is here.

That would be Lime Green Metallic (Poly)

Viper Green Metallic is L96N


Honestly, Paul - it beats the hell out of me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I had previously not been able to track down any definitive information about my paint, so all I'm going on is what I had found in the past. I had not been able to link the L98B paint code to any Porsche paint code lists at all.

So, what's the difference between lime poly and viper green? Neither of the samples in your picture look like the same color as my car!

It seems very unlikely that the car's never been repainted, but I can't find any evidence of it ever being another color.
