    BAJA RED anyone know this color?

    Restoring my 1971 911S and the color is Baja Red. Unfortunately, my car has faded and 2 auto paint dealers cannot find the paint formula. I could use one of the inside panels and get a color match, but not sure if that has faded/changed as well. My dealers had a Porsche Gurads Red 1, which looked like Indian Red, a very orange red. Porsche Guards Red 2, is a brighter Red than what looks to be on my car. Anyone know where I can get an exact match? Or confirm my observations? I know this is a strange question, but I would like to get as close as I can get. Thanks Allan

    Go with the interior panels, preferably one under carpeting, etc. It is the sun that fades paint.
