What is the name of 1973 paint code 024-9-1???
 

Paint code is 024-9-1
looks similar to desert rose, which is a kind of pink color,
but it has more red in it......
is this a stock color? or does the xx-9-x nine mean special order/paint to match,
any help gratefully accepted, here is a picture of the paint code tag showing the color of the car as well.

024 = fraise ??
9 = painted at Porsche Factory
1 = Brand of paint (I don't know what brand this is)

I think Ross has it: "fraise"

doesn't "fraise" mean "strawberry" in french?

Thank you very much,
was this a standard color or special order as I have not come accross it before, how can I find out how many were produced in this color,????

Fraise - 024 was an optional color for 1972 - 75.

'1' is for Lesonal paint (2 is Glasurit) on the paint tag.

024 is called Raspberry in English.

Cool color, BTW. :)

My '73.5t is Rose Red & ready for paint but my painter can't seem to get the formula? Do you still have the car or do you have a color sample? -Bill

Bill,
it was/is a great color but very resistant to sales.
If you use the paint code any main paint supply store,
they can mix it for him

So... how about a pic of the car, not just the door jamb?

Thanks for the reply on your almost four year old thread...
I'm surprised my painter is having problems getting/finding the formula. He's been painting my Porsches for over 20 years...
Can you please post a few pics of the car?
Thanks again, Bill

Dave Bouzaglou at TRE Motorsports recently did a 911ST replica in Fraise. Talk to him. "TRE Cup" on this board.

Bill:

Maybe this site will be helpful: Glasurit Color codes and samples for 1966-

I am sure Glasurit will have the formula.

Don't mean to jack the thread but here's another paint code i'm not sure of : 2010- L ,on a 1970 car . I think it might have been Gulf blue ? Anybody got any info ? Thanks

So my color code is 230-9-3

Can anyone tell me what that is?

Actually I have found that it is Metallic Green - anyone have a sample of this I can look at?

Yes metallic green.

About 2/3 of the colors are listed here:

Porsche 911 Farbdatenbank

There appears to be a metallic green that is 224 and then seems like one that is 230. Curious - where would you find this paint today?

Thanks techweenie!

It's called Dunkelgrun, and I had a picture, because I found a car that color for a friend. Searching the archives.

We're in luck, primarily because I never seem to throw anything away. This is from a code 230 car that was painted blue/gray. This was the only accessible unpainted portion of the car. I love the color, and it looks great on these cars.

I used to own a '72 #230 that was made into a white RS clone, and Milt had a 911S in this color. It's rare #230 was not painted over.

I also saw it here:

Here's my question - where can I buy this color? That is my original color. I just redid the engine and now thinking I will work on the wiring but get this car ready for now upholstery and paint for next year...

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh - don't tell my wife. She wants to remodel our kitchen...

Generally, the formulas for these older colors are not available. And current metallics have much larger "flakes" than were used in the day. So you'll need to work with a paint shop to mix the color.
