What color is that? Is it metallic or non-metallic? Was it available on the 1988 Turbo? I know with Porsche any color is always available, but I mean was it a factory offered color? I'm making a model....

That is a 911sc so it looks like the color is #443, Copper Brown Metallic.

Yeah, sorry, I know that's not a turbo, it's just the only pic I saw. So, was it available on the 930 turbo? Coming up with the color code was huge, because I have a friend with a bodyshop who can mix it up for me.

There was also a Mocha Brown that early 930s came in, but that one doesn't look like Mocha. I'm pretty sure I've seen a copper metallic turbo before, but as with Mocha, it is for the early turbos. Colors available for later turbos were Nougat Brown Met (40B), Cognac Br. Met (40L), Espresso Br. Met (40D), and Nutmeg Br. Met (492).

This thread should help you. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/porsc...ur-browns.html

EDIT: I think the car in question is Tobacco Brown Met. 464.

I think Miguel (sp?) on the Pelican 911 Turbo forum has a 930 that color.

Maybe not, now that I've posted the pix.

I just discovered they made Nile Green Metallic that year. The color has been chosen. Though those browns do look neat too...maybe the next one.

I don't see that color listed for a 911 in 1988. the only greens listed for 1988, per the Red Book, are Lagoon Green Met and Granite Green Met.

Curse you Dr. Color Chip for getting my hopes up!
