Nightmare with paint codes - Graham - 06-07-2006

Hi,



<img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/dry.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />



Having a nightmare with the L908 paint code Grand Prix white and matching.



Does anybody know the derivitive of this for a 968 CS 1993



Seemingly there is a P5 R4 and another one as well as the standard one



Any ideas?



I no longer have the sticker in the boot for obvious reasons

This product is high quality and accurate on the color. Give the interface your year and make. It will spit back all the colors...908 is in there and is the same as P5 and R4, all listed as Gran Prix White.



Option codes 030, 220 - Nice!



Best wishes,

Bozo,



You have just mentioned all the problems that I am facing!



bumpers and plastic parts too dark (even with the same paint!)



My new paint is too yellow also



This is what I have worked out so far



L908 P5 and R4 are all the same colour just differant internal codes for the same colour over the years



However there are according to the Glasurit site three differant tones of Gran Prix white all with the same code



One more red than the base colour and one lighter and more red



All still white of course



Not more yellow though



Weird



Graham
