Even if you find the code. If you spray a car on a different day, temp, humidity, it will look different.
Especially metallic.
I have been painting for 35 yrs.
Go to an old Porsche show, the guys with the ruby red cars will all say they are correct, and they will all be different.
The slate greys will be brown and green and blue. All different.
The code is not the key.....in any way.
You would have to match a car panel. That’s what classic would have to do. That’s what you would have to do.
Scott,

Thanks for your (disappointing) advice.

It is easy to see that matching the original paint can be a challenge.

Even from this photo the difference in apperance between the front fender and door can be spotted.

My problem regarding mixing new paint from an original sample is that I do not have access to a sample, this being the only 911 in the world with this particular paint...
