GP white's color number is not P5 . GP white was used from 1973 to 1996 it would be 908 . Last edited by 962porsche; 08-07-2012 at 06:02 PM.. |

guards red is not a color that was offered in 1988 .
guards red was only offered from 1973 to 1987 with a color number of 027 then offered again starting in 1994 to date with a color number of 84A . that would be for the US market the rest of the world they started guards red again in 1993 . i would have to look but if i rember right LM3A has the name of indischrot . i could look up all the colors offered in the year of 1988 . but not all colors were offered for every country . there is also the fact that there are 99 , 999 or 9999 colors too they are spechel order only colors . with porsche you can order any color they every offered or even pick your own color if you so chose . the books i have from when i was the dept head of coating at porsche do not brake down the colors from year to year . so i would have to go thru every color up to the year of 1988 to see just what colors were offered for the north american market . i will do many things to help out you guys but that takes hours so it not some thing i do . i get about 3 emails every week asking just what your asking . the 1st thing i have to ask is why do you need that info ?

You both have been very helpful -- from the 2 letter code I was able to find the 3 letter codes that I needed (proceeding the L)
LM1A = summer yellow = B1 LM3A = India Red = G1 L347 = Dark Blue = K5 thanks for the guards red L027 / India red LM3A clarification -- I've read allot of posts saying these are the same and an equal amount saying they are different. The reason I asked is because I'm finishing up a series of t-shirts designs. Thanks again, Chuck |

Mine is an 88 guards red and the code on the sticker under the hood is G-1. some years it's called india red but it's the same color. After the british india guards and thier bright red uniforms.

I'll post the design I sent to the printer for pricing. Thanks again for your help. Thanks 962porsche for the 87-88 red debate info. I'm not using 930, 911, or the year in the shirt so it's not super critical but good to know. armandodiaz I added that link to my favs for future use. thanks Ken911 thanks for chiming in -- what a badass car you have! here is what it was for: I'll do a limited run sometime in the future. ![]() |

the L should be dropped for the codes like 027 there is no L in it . the L is used by VW and Audi corp and the CARS that were built on there plants .
on the other hand you can use the german ward for paint as Lackierung or autolack . on the early porsches it stood for lesonal . it was to tell what plant the car was built in like karmann or vw audi . later when all porsches had to use BASF coating by contract the L was dropped . for instance if you go into the BASF color look up and tipe in the L or 027 making it L027 you will get a reply that states no information found invalid color code . unless it's a hold over color as of 1973 when the contract was signed that all porsches had to only use BASF products all color codes are only 3 digits or letters or a combo of them but only 3 . |
