Okay, so I want to take my early-73 914-2.0 (marketed in USA as a "914S" then) back to the original OE Light Ivory color, which I can still see under the floor mats, etc. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)
The problem is, I'm seeing quite a range of this innocuous color on various 914s & 911s, ranging from a bright white to a more mellow off-white befitting the "light ivory" name, and I'm seeing color chart sample chips in that same range! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Then to compound that, the 73MY documents which I've found online call the color L80E in some places & 1110 in others, while my COA calls it only 11. Of course they also call my #31 Beige upholstery "black" - contrary to those documents' interior codes & even their own other COAs where black is #11! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) So does anybody have the proper L80E/1110/11 "Light Ivory" paint tint/color mix formula for a 1973 MY 914?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Here are a few examples from my research to illustrate my dilemma.... L80e chip from Wolfsburg West on 73 VW Conertible Bug:  72 914 Dealer Color Samples:  71 PPG VW Paint Color Chart with L80E:  74 914 Dealer Color Samples:  72 Porsche Dealer Color Codes - Paint & Interior:  ...continued.... |

Hi Tom. I'd suggest Glasurut single stage. They were the original paint manufacturers. The original paint is a baked enamel. Their site should have the mixures on it. http://www.glasurit.com/ Maybe some of the paint and body guys in the main forum can direct you better and give you their opinions on different paint manufactures.

Thanx Tod, already been there - that was where I got the paint mixtures/color charts posted above, but there appears to be several formula there. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I recall hearing about another OEM German paint that others like Pat Garvey had mentioned here? ...if my half-zymers isn't kicking in, I think it began with an "S" name or had 2 names with one beginning in "S"??
