This is stamed under the word "Kunstharzlack" on my drivers door jamb, I assume this is the paint code? Thanslation comes out to "art resin varnish" Huh? Thanks guys.

That's VW Metallic Silver. Good stuff.

Thanks, but what makes it good stuff? Was this a special color or paint? Thanks again.

I'm a huge fan of that code/color, that's all. There was some debate about it being a standard color in '72 and some other early years. I found several examples, including one of my own cars, that were coded 936, though all the documentation I have studied shows that it was not an available color until the bumper-car era. My current theory, due to the number of '72s I have seen with #936, is that the documentation is wrong.

Is your car that silver? Do you know if the paint is original? I'd love to see some pics.

Oh ok, Sure here are a couple.

That's 936 all right. I Looooove that color. Looks great on that car with those wheels, too (Rufs?).

Yep, Ruf 17's. They are a perfect color match. I love the color as well. Thanks.

To dig-up an old thread, I have this paint code on my 1972 911T, looking to match colors. Need to just spray paint the trunk area. Any suggestions?

Go to Paintscratch.com

key in 1980 , Porsche, 911

Order a can of L936. Metallic Silver.

Never heard of it being a VW color.

It was original on a few longhoods. Had a friend with a 73.5 targa with 936 that was original.

BTW, 936 is the paint code, 9 is the paint manufacturer (glasurit, I think), and 3 is the plant where the car was painted

Bringing this thread back to life. I just looked at a 1972 911 T with a 936 door jam paint code. Guess what? The 911 ST and Spyder have a new stablemate.

It's a project, it been painted red, but it will be returning to color 936.

After assuming my 74 was some sort of brown, I stripped the multiple colors (some hideous!) off the door jamb tag and low and behold it's 936-9 3. Silver?!
Any more pics of this color? Is / was it rare on a '74 Targa?
Thanks!

Reviving this thread myself. You guts aren't alone, I have a 72T with the 936 paint code as well. I believe the car was resprayed when they did the rust work though.

I have a 1973 911T with the same code 936-9-3.
According to this site:
Services - Reference Center - Color Charts - 911 (1965-1973) - CPR Classic

This is a "1965-1973 Special paint color (Metallic)" used in 1973

I am respraying my car now, and I am exited to see how it will look on my car

Hello, I am a late arrival to this thread. I never knew what color my car was originally until yesterday, I saw a video and the guy opened the door and viola there is the paint code. I guess you learn something new everyday! So mine is 936-9-3, it was a mid year 1972 911t MFI with moon roof (California car). It was white when I bought it in 1983 and I painted it red in the late 80s.
I am so glad I finally joined this forum, I have been reading thru these threads for not just years but decades getting tips and help.
