Hi, I'm kinda new to the 914 restoration hobby. I recently purchased a 1971 914-6 that has the valances and rockers painted very poorly (looks like a cheap rattle can). Are there any prefered colors or paint codes I should use in repainting these. I'd like them to be as close to original as possible. Thanks

I think the texture was definitely relegated to the early model years, it is well documented that Porsche tried to reduce costs as the 914 line went on.
It would be interesting to find an original owner 1971 & 72 to see when the texture was phased out. |
