side note
Lets redo that previous post so its not such gibberish.... plus i keep getting error messages trying to edit it.
Anyway, can you guys help me with a few questions regarding this one?
My wife and i saw it a few weeks ago on craigslist but when she called it was already pending and going in for the pre-purchase inspection the following day.
We are still interested in the car but noticed a few things in the high resolution photos that we didn't see on the CL ad.
1 - Are the black rubber plugs in the top corners of the engine bay supposed to be painted?
2 - Is the paint different colors on the hood,fedner bumper areas? (my wife noticed this) Id guess its just the lighting but it does seem off.
3 - We have recently acquired a digital paint meter and it helped us with the 997 turbo purchase. Some sellers of 964's have said the metallic cars have more paint on them. Is this in fact true? With the turbos everything was 3.5-5.5 mils for a metallic car or non-metallic. What should a 964 be?
Next week we're taking a few days to explore some of the current offerings from dealers in the VA area up to NY, so Im sure seeing these cars in person will answer my questions but want to come in armed with as much knowledge as possible. I will have access to my friend who knows these cars fairly well now since I've sent him to look at so many in the south east. Mechanically I know what to look out for but paint wise its a bit confusing since shoddy paintwork is often passed off as "they were hand painted cars" or "port damage", well that doest explain the over spray on with wiring loom or sanding lines in the body filler. I don't know much but I know what isn't right.
Thank you in advance!
Side note: I don't know whats up with these forums and how they have it programmed. I constantly have a note on the top of my browser saying "This webpage is using significant energy. Closing it may improve the responsiveness of you Mac". Editing a post, making a original post, just about anything done here is super buggy/sloppy. I never have this issue on any other website or forum. granted we're using VPN but still never have these issues elsewhere. /rant

Wow! This should be very interesting to watch given such a striking PTS color.

With the turbos everything was 3.5-5.5 mils for a metallic car or non-metallic. What should a 964 be? All cars from this era were painted with the last of what Porsche called the 26 stage paint process. So thicknesses vary. The first 1-1.5mils are primer usually white. After that solid cars are single stage and will measure up to 6 mils. Most cars have been buffed so numbers are usually lower. Metallic colors will also measure up to 6 mils however the color coat is thin with a lot of clear. If you are seeing close to 3 mils expect that the clear is almost gone. You can polish down to 2mils on single stage without issues but the paint is thin. Occasionally I have seen cars measure over 6 mils from the factory but it is usually not an entire panel. I have seen numbers as high as 10 on factory paint but in the size of a quarter and then tapper off to 7 or 6 in the surrounding areas. The meter only tells a portion of the story. I have seen cars with paintwork measure 4.5 mils or less. Port damage does occur but the resulting rework is usually an insignificant amount and is of a standard equal to the factory. Hard to say but if there are any tape lines or overspray it wasn't done by the factory or at the ports.

Being a ROW car means that anything more than mid high 60’s won’t be worth it to anyone in CA as we will need to add another $10k immediately to register it here.

I suspect this car was in a bad accident and has been pieced back together. Here is another case of a 1990 having the later mid 91 on rear lid latch. I would suspect based on how the welds in the engine compartment look that the entire rear section was removed and a new section grafted on. Check it out closely.

First time posting, but really interested in joining the air cooled/964 crew. Found that in the LA area. '94 964 C2 Coupe. Midnight/Tan manual. If anyone is in the LA area and can check it out? Would appreciate some extra eyes on it. Thanks!
