993 bumper cover paint question...
I know that the Guards Red (L80K) factory applied paint in 1995 was a single stage process, but does anyone know if only the front bumper covers were done in a 2-stage base/clear process? i have an original low miles car with original single stage paint, yet the front bumper is indeed base/clear yet it shows to be 100% original - absolutely no evidence of a respray ever. Thank you.

The single stage red would be used throughout the car, I’ve polished several original paint guards red cars and bumpers were all single stage.
There are some absolutely amazing body shops out there that can do equal or better work than the factory but cost big bucks. I’m sure that’s what happened with your car and honestly being a bumper I wouldn’t stress over it. Most people realize that bumpers are at risk of some minor damage over time and a touch up or respray wouldn’t be unusual. It’s mostly frowned upon if a low quality shop is used.

Porsche started changing over from S/S on solid colors in 1993 the complete change over ended in 1998 to all colors being base clear.
how ever your color code 80K is not called guards red its Indish rot AKA India red Porsche does not use the letter L on there paint codes. that is used by VW/Audi on there paint codes. the letter L means Lack in German = paint in English my guess is your car is single stage and your bumper was a repaint |
