Ok thx Linderpat. I was hoping Rixter still was privy to the info but I don't think I've ever seen a post from him since I've been a member. I'll look into getting a coa. Thanks again.

I've read before (I think on RL), that the COA is frequently inaccurate.


Last week, I called Porsche NA and asked about the original paint code on my car (they can provide you with the exterior paint code and interior colour code over the phone for free). I was told that my original paint code on my '82 was "Glacier Blue Metallic". From what research I"ve done on 928 paint codes so far, this colour wasn't offered until 1983. I can find no trace of this colour anywhere on the car - nothing along seam gaps, under paneling...nowhere.

I've read the same thing about the inaccurate COAs but I went ahead and order one anyways sans other options and no stickers on the car.

928 Paint Codes

Paint Codes for the 928 varied from year to year. Use the links below for your specific year model.

(note: the 928 could be custom ordered any color an owner desired. Custom ordered colors are not included here.)

Paint Code Numbers can be found on a label in your drivers door jam, on the build label under the rear cargo carpet/foam, or in your "Warranty and Maintenance Booklet" (if dealer applied it there). You can also get this info directly from Porsche, click on this link "Kardex info" for details.

^^^ I have that list and it gives a reasonable summation of colours, but there are quite a few omissions. A good example is my GTS, aventura gruen metallic.

Indeed, Amazon green used on 1992/1993 GTS was replaced by Avantura for the 1994/1995.
