Paint code tag ?

[Pchmotoho]

I have searched but can’t find any definitive answered so I’ll put it out here for you guys.

79 white SC, for some reason when the car was painted (not during my ownership) the paint code tag was removed and is MIA.

I know the paint code is 908 but what should the next two digits be. I was thinking best guess the tag should read 908-9-3.

All opinions appreciated and thanks in advance.

The two I know of are 908-9-2

Here is a guide to decoding the paint tag.

where:

XXX = 3-digit paint code for Porsche AG.

Y = place of paint application ... 9 = Porsche factory, 8 = ??? perhaps Karmann or other coach factory

Z = paint mfr,

1 is for Lesonal
2 is for Glasurit
3 is for Herberts
