Is it a known car on Rennlist? If so, I'm interested in knowing the paint colour

Car is a replica, but paint is very similar to a 1956-only color aquamarine metallic. 1956 was the last year for standard metallic colors except for silver. There was a non-metallic aquamarine through 1959.

Thanks - do you know the car or have you seen it in person, to be able to indicate it's Aquamarine Metallic? It doesn't look similar, at all to the video....?

Are you seeing the video car as blue?
Perhaps you're referring to the car before? No other explanation...

Willhoit has sample spray out cards for most colors: http://www.willhoitautorestoration.com/paintsamples.php
Is that possible Lago Green Metallic?

You're right. There is an aquamarine-ish car right before I thought you were referring to.

Porsche made several greens during the 356 era. Lago green metallic is a favorite; that's not it. Check the Willhoit sample cards.
