Have color code from 1969, but no supplier can find the recipe
I have been looking for the ultimate color to paint my F-model targa, as I can not stand the guards red paint a previous owner applied to it.
From my point of view, the flashy colors that were so popular in the hippie era don’t look stylish on a 911, especially not on a targa. There amongst the bright yellow paint mine was delivered in. Also, metallic paint goes better with the brushed steel surface of the targa bar than “flat” colors.
For a few years gold metallic has been my favorite candidate among contemporary Porsche colors, but recently I changed my mind. That was when I discovered that the 1969 911 delivered to Ferry Porsche himself had the ultimate targa color. I had spottet it earlier on models from other suppliers, but it wat not until then I realized that this particular green metallic tone came originally on a 911.
The problem is that no paint supplier can mix the color according to the paint code on Ferry's 911. Not even DuPont Herberts, who was the supplier of the beautiful green back then. The sign on the door post reads 51-08907-H (H for Herberts). Can anyone help?
