There were other Reds also, India, Kiln and Ruby red in 83/84, India and Garnet red in 85/86, Cherry/Carmine and Indian red in 87/88, Indian, Maraschino red in 87/88, Indian and Velvet red in 89, but never any Guards red!!!

Do we need to change the title of this thread?

But he is wrong!!! Look at color plate for my car:

I will try to EMail this gentleman and ask him to explain my color plate!!! ;)

I am pretty sure India Red and Guards Red are the same......I do not think you are confused, but maybe Tony is/was.... ? Can't always believe what you read, I guess....

Very close looking but there is positively a difference in India vs. Guards red. If you have to match paint today and even with providing the paint code, well known paint suppliers get it wrong too. I know from experience and wasn't happy when PPG screwed up. Obviously there is no metallic and the reds have a strong pigment but if you blend a panel, it shows the difference.

In the mid to late 80's the 3.2, turbos and 944's in G1 paint code dominated the dealer lots. Even in 89, Porsche's first 250 964 models in the US were G1. Just look at the 1989 Christophorus issue with the 964's on the front cover... you can't miss that.

In Germany the colour has always been called Indischrot. There is no such thing as "Wachenrot".
