Default Kalahari Beige

Does anyone know where to get this paint from apart from a Porsche dealership. The dealers round here (Toronto) don't stock it.

Paint code is LA1Y

Anyone have any spare???

Cheers

Most quality automotive paint shops can mix what ever color you need. The unfortunate thing is that it is almost impossible to get an exact match (even with the exact same "recipe"). This is not much of an issue if you are painting the whole car. However, if you are only painting a panel or two - you will see a difference. No need to ask me how I know.
Some shops will need a panel (or better yet, the whole car) to "measure" the color and therefore mix it.
Good luck.

...to complicate matters, there are two mixing variations of this color, at least when using the Dupont Chromabase system. I just went through this.
