Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

No, not having problems with a '99 996. My question is how many variations of blue were offered in the 1999 996? I know that later years have a Lapis Blue, but was wondering if that color was available in 1999 and if any other shades of blue were available that year from the factory? I'd like to pick up a hardtop for my 2002, but want to make sure that a hardtop described as "dark navy blue" is going to be a reasonable color match (different sun-fading effects notwithstanding) for my car. Thanks for your help, David

POST 2Original post

I have a Zenith Blue '99 996 its a mid colour metallic

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I guess it's not safe, then, to make any assumptions. I bet an Ocean Blue top on a Lapis Blue car would look, ummm.., interesting! Thanks, David

POST 5Original post

David, Lapis Blue metallic has a distinctively purplish shade to it. If the hard top, as you described it, is "dark navy blue" then chances are it is Ocean Blue metallic. Ocean Blue metallic was discontinued after the 2000 model year and replaced with Lapis Blue. Here is a picture of my Ocean Blue metallic cab as reference:

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Boy, that Ocean Blue looks nice. Unforunately, it's not my color description -- it's the seller's. Would the hardtop be marked in any way with a paint color code somewhere? David

POST 7Original post

Unfortunately I have my hardtop in storage right now so I can't tell you. There might be a sticker on the underside of the rear panel of the hardtop but I am not sure. The next best thing is to get the paint code off the seller's cabriolet since the hardtop is matched to his cab. The paint code should be underneath the hood in the options sticker.

POST 8 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Unfortuantely, this appears to be a wholesaler or liquidator of some sort. Or maybe being sold on consignment. In any case, the seller doesn't have precise information available. Sounds a bit risky to me.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
