Years ago I had my 67S repainted (bare metal). In storage it got a little ding which has required repair and this has caused all sorts of problems. The original color of my car was Irish Green. I had it resprayed a color I believe to Ossi blue 6803 (although I have no records of the actual colour). I have attached a photo of it when it was done. The red book also shows it as a 1968 color while the Porsche database (per body guy) shows it as a 1967 color. Is the Red book a little calendar challenged?
The problem is that my panel guy claims that Ossi blue is a very dark blue and not even close to my car (per his color database). I also found another members photos
link to early 911 photos which looks a ringer for my color where he says its Ossi blue. Has anyone got an idea? Is my panel/body guy smoking something? Or his database wrong? He feels the color of my car is closer to Arrow blue (1974) or Acid blue (1975) and that the other car (Nick Moss's) must be incorrectly identified as Ossi blue.
