I may be a bit of an expert on the 914, but for any other model I don't know much. A COA for the car would be of some value. For the 914 only the fact that the paint was custom is recorded, not the actual paint color. PCNA may be able to help on the paint part number though. The factory has used many different paint code systems, sometimes several at the same time. The code stamped into the data plate may be different than on the COA, bill of sale or whatever, simply because they used parallel systems. Thus you need to know the crossover lists. The code may also be supplier dependant. The trouble with me guessing the code from the pictures is that the image on my screen may not look like the actual car, and the paint chips I compare with will also be internet images, and also faulty. I'll keep an eye on this thread.
