Got to be one of these when I used the VIN Decoder on your VIN again, and based on the label

TexSquirrel - The link you gave just gives me "admin.porschedealer.com is undergoing a period of planned downtime for maintenance and testing." I'll try again later but still no luck.

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.

Hi,
I have a 2000 Cab that I believe is Rain Forrest Green. The under hood sticker is missing and I want to make sure I order the correct touchup paint. Where else can I get the paint code?
DBJoe996 - The reenlist decoder doesn't list a color for my car. When you run the decode it just shows all of the standard color options.
TexSquirrel - The link you gave just gives me "admin.porschedealer.com is undergoing a period of planned downtime for maintenance and testing." I'll try again later but still no luck.
My VIN is
WP0CA2999YS653417
if someone has an idea.
Thanks for the help!
Darn, it worked for me just the other day.
Keep trying, when it does work, it gives you all the options including the exterior color code.
Also check inside your fuel door, it could be there.
Some years had it there, but I don't know whether any 996 did.
texcwa - When I put my VIN into that site I get this error "Data column(s) for axis #0 cannot be of type string"
I'm starting to think my VIN is jinxed.
I entered the VIN of the 2000 ME 911 that I am looking at and I got the same error as JHall. Also the rennlist.com VIN Decoder just gives me the year and general specs.
About the only other thing I can think of is to get the COA from PCA. I think it runs like $25

+1 look under the carpet in the front trunk, on the drivers side on US cars, there should be a decal on the front "frame rail"/crumple zone part of the unibody with the paint name and code.
This site seems to be under maintenance, but I've been able to see build sheets using this:
https://admin.porschedealer.com/repo...CA2999YS653417
or
"https://admin.porschedealer.com/reports/build_sheets/print.php?vin=WP0CA2999YS653417
" (without the quotes).
dan_189 - You were correct there was a label under the front carpet. Here is a pic of the label. Can anyone tell me what represents the paint code on the label?
J4 - Rainforest Green Pearl - metallic (Adrian Streather's book says this code is the catalog color code)
It also shows up some places as 2A1/J4 DSCHUNGELGRUEN PEARL
WBL is water based paint (again from Adrian Streather's book).
V2 through V9 are color variations.
There are paint samples available to paint shops that can be used to get a closer match.
That is why in some of the photos of my car, my headlight covers are slightly different.
My headlight covers have more blue in them.
They're the correct color, but not the correct variation.
Its not noticeable unless it is in full direct sunlight.
I plan to have that "fixed" one of these days.
