Default Need some help with identifying proper paint code

Just picked up a pair of Turbo S ducts and was going to order some paint from TouchUpDirect. But I am bit confused about the available codes for Black Metallic. My paint code says Black Metallic Z8, but also show the number 744 which is on my sticker as well. I believe I should order 738/Z8, just need to make sure its the right one.

Hmm, from what I understand and per your under hood sticker, your paint color code is L744, so you would want to order, black metallic, 738/Z8 744.

On the touchupdirect web site, I selected automotive, porsche, 1997, all.
I got a different paint panel to choose from, than the one you posted. Heres the link...

FYI, called them today and I guess all of the Black Metallic are suppose to be the same. Guess Porsche can be tricky with paint codes. 744, 738/z8 and 746 all the same color mixture. Let's hope
