paint code and paint code differences Amazon green?
Was curious if anyone else has observed this.
My 93 964 C2 and 93 928GTS are both Amazon Green have similar paint codes but are completely different. I have seen some 964 turbos in Amazon and they look more like my GTS and yet all 968 and 964 C2/C4's I have seen look like my 964.
The only difference in the code is as shown but yet the 964 has a rather heavy metallic finish and the GTS has a very fine metallic.
Does anyone know if the code has anything to do with this or is it just one of those no two paints from that era seem to be the same?
See pics first two are the 964 second the 928. The 928 is original paint the 964 has some paint work but the area shown is original.
Both color and metallic are very different. For those of you with 928's in Amazon green can you tell how yours compare to these?

Amazon Green is a very special color.
I know that two codes were used for it, L37Z and L39A.
Also, you can spot the MS at the end of the first line of the sticker of one of you car.
Remember this is the years in which Porsche switched to water based paint, so maybe this would explain the difference.

I was wondering if the suffix in the paint code has anything to do with the difference. They are both nice colors but I would argue they were not the same if I didn't know better.
Thanks for the link.
