my '91 928 gts is in need of a few touch ups. where might be the place to purchase a small touch up bottle with the brush.

You may have a '91 GT, but the GTS did not start until the '93 model year for the US and '92 model year for ROW...

Do an online search for "touchup paint" and see what that brings up. There are several places. You might just call your local Porsche dealer though as Grand Prix White (GPW) was available a few years ago anyway...

It might be hard to find 91 GTS touch up paint due to the rarity of that model.

But Larry Reynolds used to have touch up paint for most Porsche paint colors...

i have been confused on the year issue since i bought the car. the vin is WPOAA2925MS810445. i even contacted porsche in atlanta and they came back with it as a 1991 928 GTS Coupe. production date 6/26/91. great car but an owner that knows little. thanks for any help.

Well..what you have is a GT..5 speed, right ..? Your VIN is the key..I just got mine on Monday in Pittsburgh from the original owner, went by the original dealer...my VIN is the same as yours..last 4 #'s are 0335..so mine was just a little earlier on the production line..what are your optoion codes, either found on the inside cover of the service manuals and on the driver door body or under the carpet next to the battery door. You can decifer more from the codes about the options..as a GT, it has Limited Slip Differential and other goodies..what interior layout..? seat options ..?PICS..!! Iam working on my next round of pics.. I am afraid Atlanta has missinformed you...GTS not until 1993..they had no production at all in 1992 of the 928. PM me if you like and stay in touch, Cheers, Kevin.....I just took another look at your chrome wheels..and the GT never came with those wheels..the Design 90 wheels are larger front and back...you may actually have an 'S4'..now I gotta know...

Kevin,

Remember they did have '92 model year 928 GTS's, just no US/N. Am. versions of that model year. Though the early '93's in particular are not distinguishable from a '92 other than VIN...

RunForFun the key letter on your VIN is the "M" near the middle. That designates the car as a '91. "N" is '92, they skipped "O" because it looks like a "0" and moved on "P" for '93 and then "R" for '94...

I might also recommend a 928 DVD for you... you will quickly learn much about the 928...

Flag mirrors, long quarter rub strips, black wing....GT or S4..not GTS

I've had good results with www.paintscratch.com

Your right JM..Euro 92's just no US '92 at all. Still trying to figure out if GT..GT never had those wheels...gotta be an S4...not on Registry...mine will be soon...Kevin

Touch up paint is still avalable from Porsche.
A$15 last time I sold some.

Kevin,

Good eye on the wheels. At first glance I just thought they were an aftermarket wheel. Must be an S4. It would have the D90 GT wheels on it if was a 5spd car. Bet it is a '91 auto S4.

Be cool.

Good work finding the paint Rog! I figured PCNA still had it on hand. They built a WHOLE LOT of GPW cars over the years, all the way up in to the mid '90's.

you guys are great. althou the prior owner had 928 GTS put on the rear, i have always been suspicious of the model number. should i attempt to take that off?? might cause more damage than it is worth?? the option codes are 158, 418, 498, 570, 650, C02. i had the wheels refinished so i am not sure what model they went with- came with ugly wheels. i am going to try to attach some pictures which may help. thanks again.

WOW! PO didn't even bother to the "928 GTS" lettering straight. GET IT OFF THAT CAR! Oh, another way to tell (though not 100% since they don't make the S4 rear bumper covers anymore) is that the GTS's have a red "reflector" between the two tail lights... right where the S4 rear bumper cover says "PORSCHE"...

That is funny! So, if I put "928 GTS" on the back of my S4 and put "GTS" floor mats in it can I sell it for an extra $10k! LOL! Forget the beautiful flared fenders, aero mirrors, and that pesky oil burning 5.4L 350Hp 370Tq engine! LOL...

RunForFun, I am not trying to give you a hard time or make you feel bad and I just realized that this post could be taken that way. Please don't take it like that. We are happy to help, but those of us who have been around a very long time to find this sort of "badging" humorous is all. You have a very nice looking car there so lets just get the model correct.

RunforFun, your passenger side airbag cover looks like it's sticking out about 1/2 inch... Might want to check that out. Nice car BTW, and yes you should take the lettering off the back...

Tooth Floss is your friend, for this job. Just Drag it under the lettering and they will come off, then use "goo gone" to remove the residue. You may want to use a light glaze followed by a wax when your finished.

P.s. you can keep the floor mats in, we won't mind.
