    Paint details 911 1973 Targa

    I am restoringa 911 E Targa from 1973 (so F-type).
    All the body work has been carried out by a professional workshop and now I preparing to get the car its original colour (Silver) back.

    If come across sereral topics but did not found the right answers yet: how were Porsches 911 Targa painted in the factory.
    I see some parts are painted afterwards in black. I am looking for the exact specifications to bring the car back to original spec.

    If someone can guide me to the correct answers of previous threads...

    Thanking you in advance.

    By 73 most of the entire car was body color except for some black out by the bottom of the rockers. So, paint the whole car with Glasurit paint. Use Glasurit clear on the body but not trunk or engine bay. You can add clear in the trunk and engine bay but you would want to use a flattener in the clear so It's not shiny. There's black out on the inside of the doors, dash, seat mounting area and on the tunnel. Black out behind horn grills, fresh air screen horn grill area etc. I have a 73 in the shop about to be painted and we will duplicate the black out around the bottom of the rockers and it goes slightly up the rear inner wheel wells. I'm sure you took pictures of all these areas before you stripped it right?

    Dear Longballa,

    Thanks for your help. My 73 was in very bad shape due to previous work carried out by non-professionals.
    If you have any pictures available that would be of great help.

    Thanks.
