Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
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.

My car (2000 996 C2) is painted PALADIUM METALIC T1, says so inside the frunk on the little black sticker.
So, naturally I have a few questions seeing as how I don't see this color on the list from 2000.
Did Porsche do custom colors back in 2000?
How screwed am I in regards to touch up paint?
I've found PALLADIUM METALIC C1Y (note spelling difference) this is from 2012 or later cars, but it's a little darker, so no match.
I want to repaint my rear trunk lid eventually, so I need to find someone to be able to match paint, and do it well.
Any help pointers here that will aid me in my search are appreciated.
Be Safe, Greg.
When you scan paint, it’s normally for ”custom” repaints that the code is unavailable for. It’s a desperate move and you will see the difference in the sunlight. This color didn’t change, it was just uncommon and special order.
Lid should arrive tomorrow, along with wanting to do a few touch ups, this is the reason for this thread. When I do paint it, close will not be good enough.
That is an opinion.
Another perspective is that scanning the actual color gets a better match to 20+ year old faded paint.
I've had great luck paint matching this way, but am admittedly more of a driver than a concourse fan.
