    Congrats, this came out looking amazing. And as a fellow 1968 911L owner, I’m happy you put the 1968-only side reflectors back on to get it back to factory spec!

    Paint Used

    Well, after searching high and low for an “official” Porsche Dark Metallic Green, our registry member Jens told me that his painter had had a perfect match when repainting his car to the Ford green used on the McQueen car.Name: IMG_4439.jpg Views: 67 Size: 127.1 KB
