pcarcraig The top color is "amethyst pearl effect", with paint code 38A or 83K (WB paint).
Thanks, but what means WB paint ?
Do you think any good paint shop can do something with these paint codes ?
Any clue about the second car's color ?

WB means it's a water based paint. Water based paints were used because they were less polluting. As far as duplicating the color, I'm sure that it can be done by a quality body shop, but I have never looked into painting a car a different color. I have been told that some of the Porsche dealerships in the U.S. keep their old paint samples, so perhaps you can locate a sample at a local dealership in order to get paint made for a re-spray. As far as the codes, they are internal to Porsche, so I don't know how much they would mean to the shop where you're car is to be painted. Perhaps someone will be able to provide further details.
I am not familiar with the color of the car in the second photo. I have however seen Amethyst in person, and it is a rich and dark color, very nice. The interior was linen with a light gray dash and lower cover, and looked very sharp.

Just behind the fuel filler cap inside the trunk is another sticker which actually has the paint make-up codes that body shops would use to mix the right colour. At least that's what mine has anyway, but as it's a match to sample/L999 colour, it may be different to what others are.

As mentioned above the first is probably amethyst.
Look at the famous link www.paintscratch.com,, where it says 38A/F9.

The first pic IS Amethyst Metallic. I remember the owner saying what colour it was as he's been on Rennlist in the past! I think he lives in Thailand.
