Sonoco 917

Can anyone tell me the correct colors of yellow and blue for the Sonoco 917?

Are there any Porsche factory colors that are a perfect match, or come close to a match of the two Sonoco colors?

This will get you started:

but different paint companies probably have different internal codes for the Sunoco colors.

Another source is using Sunoco gas pump colors to help verify paint codes.

You might be able to get paint codes from the folks at Canepa... I know someone that works there and has worked on more than one of the 917/30's that have been in that livery.

You also may be able to get paint codes from:

Awesome info - Thank you very much.

I am thinking Light Yellow and Albert Blue are the closest factory color matches. Open to opinions.
