BEWARE - Swirls and scratches, bubbles, "orange peel". The original factory paint applied on most of the early 930's was single stage. Paint meter is a must!

Check with a restoration expert, "orange peel" on most early cars was the result of Porsche's inexperience with the underlying galvanizing process. There is a lot of discussion suggesting this "orange peel” resulted in many low mile 930 owners repainting their cars. Might have seemed like a great idea back then but too bad for a lot of otherwise nice 930's today. Repairing "orange peel" on a '70's 930 may be counterproductive to maintaining originality.

Spot on Paul! Better yet, original or a decent repaint, leave it to an expert - unless you don’t give a ***t about your car.
Heed what Hams930T and quattrorunner say.
Original paint is only original once.
