Are you sure that's the '86 paint code? Typically, it is a 3-digit code. Could be special order?

Paint Code for Mexico Blue (1974) is K5K5 K5V9 (also listed as "336" on some references):

cheers wilson, that's what i thought too. k5k5/lw is what is in my owners manual.
anyone else have any ideas? it's a really dark blue (almost looks black in the shade).

thanks again,
ray

What is the paint code that is on the label or the badge?
The K5K5 is marketingspeak and is not very useful.

Hi Ray,

I know I'm picking up a really old thread here, but did you ever get to the bottom of this? I have a 1985 930 Turbo (UK Spec RHD) and Porsche are telling me K5K5 paint code was the color from factory.. It's currently Dunkel Blue, but I think it's been resprayed - Is it in fact special order Mexico blue, or is K5K5 Dunkel from the 1985 period?

K5K5 was the dealer order code for Dark Blue on a coupe - K5V9 was for a Cabriolet with a Black top- K5V8 was a Cabriolet with a Blue top

Thanks a lot.. Great help!
