Hi, there! I am struggeling to find the L20E color what is on my car from the factory. A couple of weeks ago I ordered a spraycan with Porsche L20E paint, but received a very light Orange (almost yellow) orange colour. This coulor seems to be also a original Orange colour that Porsche was using, and I think still uses on Porsches. But mine is Signal Orange from '72 with the L20E on the original plate in the doorspace . It looks like more Amber, but I don't want to order an other one and risking it's not the right one. Anyone who is familiar with this problem? Thanks!

+1 on the potential printing issue.
Curious as to the paint thickness. From the one picture it appears that the front fender is a different shade than the rest. Is it possible that over time a body shop blended in the wrong color? Here is another example of the year and color… https://www.pca.org/news/was-1972-the-best-...sche-914-colors |
