OK, I had an interesting conversation with my auto paint store guy. I'm trying to finish painting the engine compartment of my car and dropped by the DuPont store to get a quart of bahia red, L30E. Well, the guy knows that I work on Porsches so I said I wanted a quart of L30E. He says, 'Hey, that's a VW color, don't you want a Porsche color?'. 'Yea, bahia red.' Well he pulls up the color listing for Porsche - bahia red - 022. He also looks up VW - bahia red - L30E.

Here's the breakdown of the colors used:

Porsche - bahia red - 022
qty color
212.2 orange
45.2 red orange
41.2 red violet
13.0 white
618.4 acrylic binder

VW - bahia red - L30E
qty color
148.7 orange
111.0 clean magenta
22.5 white
6.8 quindo maroon
634.3 acrylic binder


So, my question is, which code is the correct color to paint an original '74 bahia red 914?
