Hello all;
Thought I would join the world as well? Pat Garvey has given me great advice on 914Club and I found him here as well.
Background:
Semi new 914 owner, but quickly becoming well seasoned! The fun began last May 07. I'm now neck deep in a 73 1.7L resto.; just cut the right engine shelf and battery tray out this weekend. The sound of the air chizzle made me cry!
Question:
Concerning paint, I'm trying to get the closest match to the original Zambezi Green. I was told that Porsche more than likely shot their cars with Spies Hecker in the 70's; is this true? Also, what should I shoot it with now, sikkens? Dupont (hecker)? PPG?
Just for the record:
I'm becoming a original/concours fanatic. I love the nestagic look. My car is 90% original, was well maintained, but also well driven. The dime dings, scratches, and rock chips forced me to repaint the car. Plus, the last owner shot the enitre engine compartment with a black coating.
