I went through the process of getting the COA on my car (paint code 98), hoping that I might get lucky and they would include something besides just:
"Metallic Paint to sample/9992" What options are there to get some kind of official confirmation of a car's color (e.g. Sahara Beige) I have some dealer color samples from 1974 (Paint chip card) and my car's color is pretty clearly Ice Green Metallic(1974 optional 911 color), but is there any way to officially define it as such? -Ross Attached image(s)

From my best knowledge, the color name would be on the COA, if it's a Porsche or VW color.
Code 98 would be a color from Porsche or VW, that's not on the standard or special color chart for the 914 Code 99 would be the color to sample - there might not be a name for it ...? But as we all know, it wasn't everything strictly following the rules, back in the day. I know a car with paint code 26 on the Karman badge (conda green - never an original 914 color) and code 98 on the COA ... |
