Default What is the color code of Aqua Blue?

I found 2 color code (L32B and LM5R) are named aqua blue. Which one is used on new 997 body color? Any members own aqua blue porsche and what is your color code? Thanks a lot.

LM5R. However, according to my VIN specs, the exterior code is D2D2 (???)

If you are having any paintwork done on the vehicle, they would use M5R to start, then you should demand they do some sprayouts to sample it against the vehicle.

We always do the samples because there are constantly variations in the formulas straight from the factory, and there is no way to know with 100% accuracy that anything will match.

What are you painting?

Thanks for your advice.
Once I saw the new aqua blue 997, I love the color. I am planning to paint my 964 with aqua blue.

Thanks for input.
Is that means 3 codes can mix to Aqua blue color? Any difference between these 3 codes?

One code, and one code only.

Let them do the standard sprayout, then see how you like it. M5R will give the shop enough to work from, assuming they are a top notch shop.

Really thanks for your advise. I will provide M5R code to shop and sampling.
