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.... |

Every camera is going to show it alittle different. Here's some of my 75 which was original paint.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I had a smaller version of the top pic, but didn't realize it was yours. Are the Fuchs 2L alloys in original finish, or is the background area a light white? ...may just be lighting & camera issue. Do you have any leads on a correct factory L80E paint formula from Porsche or their OEM paint mfgr.? ...or anyone else?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) BTW - who was the OEM paint mfgr(s). for the 914s?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) I don't know how it's like in the USA but if you go to a professional paint shop in Europe and tell them that you need L80E for a 1973 VW-Porsche, you'll get the correct paint they have all the known colour codes from most known car producers from almost all model years in their computer and just have to follow the mixture advices (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif) Gustl |

So I was hoping to find the original Karman or VW-Porsche mix. When you get a chance, I'd appreciate your translation of their color mix & comments from Glasurit above.
