Brendan:
In previous threads this color is listed as L738 Black Metallic. In Peter Morgan's "Original Porsche 911" on pp 138-139, he lists the color as Z8 Black Metallic for all 993 MY's. This is the code I think really applies (BTW Peter's codes match the codes for my car on the "Certificate Of Authenticity" I recently received from Porsche Cars NA, Inc.).

Thank you Simon. Am I correct to understand that this is a very dark Grey, verging to Black color?
Such as the BTR2 993 RuF here:

Thank you Max.
That slate grey is quite light compared to the darkness of the BTR2. I would think that black, though metalic, would be darker than even the BTR color. Hmmm.
The quest continues. Any other 993 people know this color in the above link?

As to the factory 993 metallic black paint, the code was 746. The 738 code was the black metallic used on the 964 up to MY 1992.

Thanks again Max. That looks a bit darker than the BTR2, or maybe its the light.
You have all been very helpful, thank you.
I wish there was a place you could see the car with the color, and then have the code.

Here we go:
<img src="http://boards.rennlist.com/upload/crest.jpg" alt=" - " />
Here is where I found this:
<a href="http://boxsters.addr.com/configuration.htm" target="_blank">http://boxsters.addr.com/configuration.htm</a>
It seems black until the sun hits it.
It still does not look like the BTR2 color though. Are we just talking about more ambient light?
