There is another 914 next to mine getting prepped for paint at Barry's shop in San Clemente. Is it anyone's in the group here?

I'm in San Clemente, I only wish mine was that far along. Where is Barry's? I'd go by and take a look at his work…..?

B&M. Around the corner from the Rainbow store. Just thought it was random that two green 914's find there way into the shop at the same time.

Yeah, Rick will critique the quality of work for you too! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I've judged some 911s that came thru B&M, but can't tell how well they did what's under the paint once I see it done, but it was a good finish as I recall. They usually sponsor with a booth/tent at our OCR concours in Dana Point every June.

like a joke. So a third 914 strolled into Barry's paint shot this week... He's painting 3. and #2 has my headlight covers. It's going swimmingly.

Ha, before Larmo chimed in, I would have bet $20 that it was his car.

"Like a joke. So a third 914 strolled into Barry's paint shot this week."

So, a Rabbi, a Priest, and a 914 walk into a bar......

A 914 walks into a bar and says, "Gimme a beer... and a mop."

Now i have to pick the paint color. I thought it would be easier to just match the stock color. Anyone know how to find the formula for Palma Green Metallic?

On the attached chart i think i found one that looks pretty close.

That is almost as rare as owning 2 91s, and finding out the guy that is having the house built next door has owned a 914 since it was new.

Cool....

Needs more pictures.

I walked into a store called Industrial Finishes, industrialfinishes.com, in Reno, NV yesterday. Gave them the paint code of my 1973 914, L 96B, Alaska Blue. They put the code into their computer and out came the answer. Yes, they can match it: Ful-thane Urethane SS 36028 IB B Std # 641498. Whatever all that means. They said I needed 2 quarts plus reducer and hardener, plus 1 qt of catalyzed type of primer. Total cost about $208. The paint is lead free.

If you have a piece of the car with the Original paint on it, you can bring it to a good auto paint shop with a digital camera and they can use the technology to match the color. Underside of the headlight cover...nice and flat, typically not prepped.

if you cannot do that, you may be able to contact Willhoit Restorations.
He may be able to do a spray out for you of the original color and give you the matching formula based upon today's paints.
I have used him for the 356 colors, not sure how he supports the 914 colors.

I can pretty much guarantee that no professional will want to spray that. Gilson Autobody charged me $1000 for paint to paint just the sides of mine after flares. Gil is a friend. No pro wants to squirt with bad paint. They'll spend too much time trying to make it right...

E2409 looks pretty close to me, but that's based on a picture over the internet. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
