There is a thread on getting Zambezi paint in a spray can. Here is a before and after of using the AutomotiveTouchup.com spray paint. I have bought both spray cans, pints and touch up bottles. My -6 had an oil cooler in front and I am returning it to street car. Thanks to 914World members I was able to secure a partial front panel to fill the hole and a new pan from Restoration Design.

Another way to get a color match for your Zambezi is to go to the PPG or similar high quality auto paints' local paint supplier shop for the body shops, & have them shoot it with their digital color gun for a match, then mix you up in can &/or spray form. PPG also has the color mixes for VW & Porsche online, & should be able to get it.

Another option is Paintscratch.com in the SF Bay Area, but you may want to call them for the older 70's color match & point them to the PPG online color website.

Nice job on the orange BTW! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
