Default What is this color code?

Would someone be able to tell me the color code that Champion uses for their demo cars (like the F77). I believe the paint is actually called Old Man From Chile. its a sort of flat greyish beige color.

Thanks

It is called "Man from Chile" grey paint. I can't find a code, however.

Champion will NOT release that code.

Have the local shop do some sprayouts on gloss non metallic grays...there are plenty of them. Look at most Navy ships for ideas.

Or...we can paint it Man From Chile.

This may be a stupid question, but at the end of the day Champion is still a Porsche dealer, right? Couldn't anyone who wanted the color order it through the special wishes department? I think I've seen a CGT in this color (although, that certainly could also be a Champion creation for all I know).

I saw a pic of a Carrera GT painted in Man From Chile Grey. Porsche must have a paint code somewhere.

If you can get close to a 997 painted in that color look either under the fuel filler flap or on the TP placard on the door.

If it's a color that PORSCHE has painted once before they can do the research for you.
