Hey everyone,

I'm painting my 944, and thought I might as well stick with a Porsche color Although most non-3-stage whites look pretty close to me, can somebody get me the paint code from their car? It should be on the VIN sticker.

Thanks!

 

The proper spelling for this color is C A R R A R A White. FYI.

 

It will be found on the fuel filler lid or on the driver's door these days. Carrara,--as in Carrara ITALY.

 

Don't do it! Paint it the other Porsche white from older models which is brighter than Carrara White. It is something like artic white, I forget. But I do remember parking my GT3 next to a 993 in the brighter white color and how much better it looked. Made mine look yellowish and drab in comparison. For this same reason (the yellow tint) it is difficult to color match Carrara White if you ever need to do a repair. I know that white is one of the most difficult colors to match, but I would think that the more pure the white is (less tint needed), the easier it would be to match. Of course a really bright white can also make a car look like an appliance, but on smaller cars (most sports cars) I think it works well. JMO.

Carrara White color code is: B9A

 

Glacier White is the color you reference
Was available ~ 1997-2000
It is a VERY white color, with almost a blue tint
Had a 98 Boxster in that color and loved it
Will make any other white (Grand Prix, Biarritz, Carrara) look yellow
Some like it, some dont....I thought it was incredible

Perfect, thanks guys! I was looking for the brightest white I could find while sticking with a Porsche paint code. Keeping in mind the ease of color matching in case of body damage is a good idea, thanks. I guess now I need the GLACIER WHITE paint code... maybe I'll side step to the 993 or Boxster forum... unless somebody posts the code here first

 

3AT or 3AU according to Automotivetouchup.com
