Color Match
 

My 1973 "T" was repainted before I purchased it in its original "Sepia Brown" color (dark carmel). All I am trying to do is get a pint of touch up paint and I cannot find one place here in this big southern city including the Porsche dealer for a match unless I buy it bythe gallon! All these high tech paint shops whom I thought carried these "spectrophotometers" for color matching are not coming through unless you purchase quantity. Anyone aware of anybody I can send my factory color number to and get a small amount of this stuff? Thanks.

Try another dealer, many advertise in Excellence. You should be able to get a stick

That's crap. They can usually mix up a quart. You just need to find somebody who is willing to do it for you.

My rear wing was pretty faded so I took it off, had it painted, and requested what was left over. I have a pretty good supply right now. If you don't have anything that needs painting, find a small supplier or go to a body shop that mixes their own paint. They are not going to mix a gallon to do a quarter panel are they? Just beg and plead if you have to http://www.pelicanparts.com/ultimate/wink.gif

I was able to go to the local Parks paint store and they mixed 4oz of my color for $7. A quart is not much more.

be little old but what the hey, the price
is right... I would love for the baby poo
paint to go to someone who would
can appreciate the color besides the late

I agree that this is crap. Any competent paint store can make you up a quart or even less. They'll put it in a 'rattle can' for you if you ask.
