Hi,

I've posted this in the paint forum too so won't go mad with photos here as well, but I'm looking for the paint code on my '71T. It's not original paint. The og Albert Blue has been painted over a long time ago whilst the car was still in the states.

Thanks a lot.

Ben

look in the left from door jamb between the two hinges and read the color number, and I can tell you what color the car should be. If repainting ALWAYS repaint the factory original color

I think he's looking for the current paint color code. He states that the original color was Albert Blue.

I could be anything really (not necessarily a Porsche color), but a good paint shop should be able to match it.

Bang on Mike. I knew it was a long shot but someone might have known. Thanks for the links too Harry. Doesn't appear to be a Porsche colour so yeh, it's gonna be down to my paint guy I reckon. Cheers all.
