Hi Adam,

I just recently put some Carrera stripes on our 993 and then rattle-caned the wheels.

I found Krylon "Banner Red" to be a VERY close match. (Might be called OSHA Red, Krylon is changing their 5 ball formulas and the co-inciding names of the color)

I believe this is likely because industry uses Federal standards for color dyes.

I had the same experience when we had Orange stripes on the car...Krylon OSHA Orange was an exact match.

Durabilty wise the Krylon is holding up well. The car is a daily driver so it sees lots of use and frequent washing.



Good luck with your project, Cooper
