Default 944 colour options

I'm going to need to respray my zermatt silver 944 after I have repaired accident damage.
I've always really wanted a metallic grey colour and I wondered if anyone could tellme how many differant grey options were offered by Porsche for the 944.

I've seen a graphite that looks almost black and a stone grey which is very light. what other options are there? Can you post me a piccy of yours with the paint code

Depends on which MY you are referring to.
1982
Gabun Grey LY7A
Meteor Grey Metallic LY7Z

1983
Gemini Grey Metallic LZ7Z
Zermatt Silver LY7Y

1984
No changes - spelling of Zermatt to Cermat

1985
Slate Grey Metallic - LY7U
Graphite Metallic - LB7V

1986
Slate Grey Metallic LA7U

1987
No Change

1988
Slate Grey Metallic LY7U

1989
No Changes from 1987/88

1990
Cyrstal Silver Metallic LY7T
Titan Metallic - LY7P (Not sure exactly what color that is but I believe it is like a Titanium color)

1991
No change

That should cover most all of the silver/grey/etc colors you were looking for.

wow I never realised there were so many options!
Thanks matt.
now all I need to do is to match the colour discriptions with a visual image !
Any ideas where I can actually see the colours in the flesh as it were ?
I have no idea how dark or light slate grey is for example.

There was a thread here about unusal color, search the archives and you should be able to find it. If that doesnt work, head to your local paint shop and have them bring out the books.

This one looks like Stone Gray Metallic. My favorite 944 color.
