As to period correct color: I can tell you based on today's paint vs those colors used before: you never get a "correct" paint color. It's impossible with today's new paints. You can get damn close but not spot on. I tried with 3 PTS samples and they never matched up. Porsche also has a new clear coat that they use which also cause the color to deviate.

I'm pretty sure all three are the same paint code..... but i will say the Canuck car pulls it off better. Better interior color choice, no acid green calipers and the Gulf logo in the headrest.

Eduardo: We can put this to rest there is only one Gulf Blue PTS code on the approved 918 list: 328

It was on the list I sent you a while back

And leave my lucrative Rennlist 'PTS' gig? Never! :evilgrin:

Besides as a detective I would have to get a Peugeot and I don't really care
for 'Cheese-Eating, Surrender Monkeys' engineering!

Its also worth noting that all 3 cars have different front bumper stripes.
