Hello. Need a little help with color identification.
First of all I want to say "Hello" to all users since this is my first post here. My name is Jacek I come from Poland and I own '77 911S which came to me few months ago from US
 Down to business: My paint code id plate says: 117-9-1 I did some research at: http://www.911c1.de/porsche/Technik/farben/farbcode_gelb.htm http://paintscratch.com and both websites says that 117 is hell-gelb aka light-yellow I want to order some touch up paint from paintscratch.com but I'm little confused - they show color sample that is different than mine. I think. Here's the actual photo of my car. Little dark but should work.  Do you have any idea about my cars color? Could you show me any photos of porsches painted with 117 light yellow? Thanks for help! /Jacek |

Welcome to the forum
In my experience the color swatches they show at Paintscratch are not always true to the real color. I have never ordered from them but I suspect the actual product is correct. Also, at least here in the US, if you go to a paint store that carries auto paint they should be able to look up the formula for your color and mix a small batch for you on the spot. Love the color, BTW. Mine is in the shop right now getting a color change to a nice bright yellow very similar to Ferrari Fly Yellow.

Jacek,
Welcome, I think you will find this board most helpful. I have the color codes from Glasurt 1970 they might help.

Jacek welcome!
I would not order from paintscratch, some people have gotten the wrong color. You need to go to a paint supplier like PPG or Glasurit in your area and have them sample your color with their machine to get you a color match. This will give you a true match to your car, because all paint fades a little over the years. Cheers, Jason

Thanks everyone!
Creaturecat, Imcarthur - thanks for the photos - i think this is exactly the same color that my car has.  Drdogface - the differences between scratchpaint sample and the real color might be caused by my crappy monitor I think.. I just want to order this "Paint Pens" that paintscratch make to get rid of little scratches on my car. I don't think that any paint store here in PL makes it. Limble - this is the color formula I presume? Might be useful in future. Thanks. Once again, thank you for your help. /Jacek |

Stay clear of paintscratch. I ordered paint for my car, ( Ice Green Metallic). It looked green when sprayed but dried siver. I was told that is the proper shade. I sent a headlight ring that had to get a match. After paying for the extra match work it was still wrong. Stay local you'll have better luck.
