964C4

Hi,

I found these 2 beatiful Porsches on this forum

I am willing to paint my C4 like any of them

Are these factory colors ?

If yes, do you have the name and color code ?

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 ?

That second car is beautiful... I'd trade mine for that in a second!

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.

A good body shop can apparently pull up the rgb values from the manufacturer paint codes. I gave my paint code when I got my aero mirrors painted and they pulled it up instantly.

The second one looks like Midnight Blue shot in dark light. The metallic colors really change depending on light conditions.

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.

I recon the second one is marine blue....same colour as mine

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.
