Default where's the paint code?

Hey there, my car's under a lift in a corner...so having trouble finding the paint code, but does anyone know where it would be or what it should look like?

Unless Porsche changed the location on 991, it will be on the inside of the fuel filler door.

Looked at my 2012 991S and no paint code on the fuel filler door. I could not find it on the door posts either. Next guess?

Any dealer can give it to you. Or call Suncoast. It might even be on their website with touch up paint.

If you have the window sticker I'm sure the color code is listed there

1. Dealer vin look up should provide a paint code

2. On a 993t I looked at and on our 981 BS there was a white paper label in the middle front underside of the frunk. The paint code was on the label.

Color code on the Monroney? No.

The color's name is listed if it's one of the standard offerings. But it's not listed if it's PTS. But the actual color code...you will not see it on the Monroney!

On the 997s but apparently not on the 991's.

Marc: Why don't you tell us the color of your vehicle and perhaps one of us will be able to tell what the color code is for that particular Porsche paint color!

Default missing color code...

Thanks...it's the Aetna Blue '13 C2S.
The shop thinks might have located it in a book as 60/61 356 Aetnablau, color code 312 non-metal flake?

I would bet that's a PTS color. According to the PTS list posted by Z356 the Porsche code is Y31.

HTH.


Quick Reply: where's the paint code?
