Dealer says red is 84A and gold is 539, but Skinz says he needs Pantone numbers. Anyone know?

Larry Cable

aren't the paint codes on the car (options list) the actual pantone numbers?

TRAKCAR

I'lll check. Thanks.

Larry Cable

I know there is a code, not sure if it is pantone or PAG internal code.

Do you mean Pantone Matching System ?? AKA PMS Color?

If so the red would be somthing like PMS 186 and the gold would be an 800 number but not sure what.

Or am I way off here???

TRAKCAR

I figured out that red is 84A and gold is 539, but those are the Porsche color codes for guards red and white gold.
I need the Pantone numbers for my wrap guy to match the red and gold as used on the CUP R.
Doing something similar to cover the yellowing white wrap.

I tried Google, but could not findthe Pantone numbers.

Peter,

your car is fast enough as it is!

I have a PMS Book at the office.. I can take a stab at it..I do not think they have a gold/silver that will match.
The red should be easy... maybe PMS 199 from this picture

Can he not bring you swatch samples?

TRAKCAR

He asked for numbers. Red shoul dbe easy, but the white gold will be more difficult to match as I don't have it on the car.

You need to put a few Toyo RA1 stickers on it (preferably the back), that will let the Hoosier driver who just gave you the point by Toyo is your secret sauce

Bump, anyone have any idea's or suggestions where to get pantyone numbers? I googled but no luck.

just dropped in, but you can go to a printer (Litho/offset) place and look at their Pantone Matching System books....Look at the Coated System, not the uncoated as reflectivity will alter the appearance of the color.

Also may have to look at the Pantone Metallic Color Book for the gold.

You can buy Pantone Swatch books or take a look at them at Art Supply stores like Pearl Art (if you have those).

I have a PMS book , I have white red RS. Do you want the red off of the RS?
Are you talking the gold off of the 10 RS? I think the colors off the cup r are differant.

I have an old book I could send you, if you like??

TRAKCAR

I think I have the red covered, although I don't know the Pantone number.
The CUP R colors might be different, but I think it would look good and be fitting if it is RS white/gold.

The book will help and I am happy to send it back afterwards. I can drive over to my friends Grey/gold RS to find a match.
