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

[mycarrera2.7rs]

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"

http://www.911c1.de/porsche/Technik/farben/farbcode_rosa.htm

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?

[bill romero]

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?

[hhkatch]

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

[techweenie]

Yes metallic green.

About 2/3 of the colors are listed here:

Porsche 911 Farbdatenbank

[hhkatch]

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!

[techweenie]

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

[techweenie]

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.
