i get so inundated with people asking about the color of there cars it's not even funny .
today i got 13 emails asking about info on there cars color and the day is only half over .
i had to stop looking up info for people because it just takes up to much of my time .
maybe some day i will go thru all the color info i have from porsche AG and put it all in one big ass book to sell but not at this time .
many old color codes get dropped from the list as the systems get updated . this has to do with the cost to keep the list up to date .
they dropped many when they went from paper to microfiche then again when they went to floppy disc then again to hard disc .

there are also many other reasons why you may not see or find the color codes coming up on any non OE porsche color books . this could have to do with the paint CO's them selfs it cost a **** load of money for a paint CO to up date there colors when they change there paint systems .like for say solvent base to water base colors ther for if there is a color that no one buys they are not going to spend the time and money to match a dead color .
i have gone thru this many times on many postings .
rare colors are 99 , 999 or 9999 color codes only . if your car does not have a 99 code then it's a OE stock color for the year of the car and what is called a standard color even of the color was not a big seller it does not in any way make it rare it's just not popular . that is not to say it's not a nice color .

so what color is it code 291 that is all the info you need to get the color made for the car .
when i put the color number in my paint formula look up it comes right up so your jobber should find it also with out any trubble .
