Default Need a photo of paint code label: Gran Prix White

Can anyone please post a photo of the door jam paint code label for Gran Prix White?

I believe for our '91 it is code 908.

Thx!

I can't help you with the sticker, but can tell you the Porsche code for Gran Prix White is 'R4'

Well, I'm fairly certain that there's actually three different paint codes for Gran Prix White, 908; P5; and R4. I need a pic of one showing 908. I believe that is the color for a '91 S4, unless someone has a '91 and has a different code on their sticker.

Here's the link to the Paint Scratch web site which shows the 3 different paint color codes for the 1991 model years for Porsche:

Default Grand Prix White 908

I had a 1991 928 GT and it was 908...label was worn, but that is the color stated on the sticker
And the touch up spray I got was 908 also

The color code used for the repair was 908

yeah that's how my sticker looks, great shape, just all the letters are gone, like they faded into oblivion.

This one is probably no better, but 908 it is... This is our '90 GT.

We're good, got a few projects going which is mostly keeping us out of trouble, unfortunately.

Try it without flash... faded lettering on a silver label is a photographic challenge.

I think 908/P5/R4 are all the same.

Glasurit list them all the same from 1973-1996: LINK

There is a color code 92R "P5" from 1994-1996.

Here a a few shots of one of mine. The other car's label was completely washed out. These are from my white 88 S4. This is probably overkill, but I hope it meets you needs.

Do the numbers that you can read on your label match those of Jerry's '88? I am especially curious about the part number in the lower left corner?
