What Carrera Color is this - again
I tried posting this earlier today with no success - I have a '79SC that was tarted up to look like a mid 80s Carrera for a film. Its a stock Porsche color but I need to know what shade / name / code so that I can get it repainted. It was a really nice windows out job but she's suffered over the years. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, Kevin

Hard to tell from that distance but it looks to be Pacific Blue.
Porsche used some slightly different shades in the later years called Prussian Blue, Baltic Blue and one other that I can't think of right now.  My SC is Pacific Blue.

I would think that color might be Prussian blue, though it is hard to tell from the pic. From what I understand it is a bit grey that goes purply in differing lighting.

That looks like Slate Blue L661/X6 to me. Compare it to mine.

My 84 is the same color and I believe that it was referred to as Slate Blue, is it not possible to read the VIN or some other sticker on the car? I am about to take it to Axiom to repair her after this ahole decided he wanted to be in my lane and didn't care who was already in it.

Looks like Iris blue, I have an '86 in that color, but it's hard to tell from your photo.
