Read evidence and context

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.

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

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.

13 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

pull the code before I left this AM. I have a part at a paint guy and he needs to code today. Thanks in advance.

POST 2Original post

Hi Jason, I just looked it up-the code for "lapis blue metallic" is "M5W" or usually just "5W"

POST 3Original post

Why does this site list 3A9? http://www.renntech.org/forums/index...colors_carrera

POST 4Original post

Hmmm, not sure Ubermensch. But I suppose your site is more trustworthy. I searched an online paint site, entering in the specs (porsche, 2002, etc), and they gave the 5W. I also double checked my car on that site, and they had it correct. So who knows. My suggestion to Jason would be to try the 3A9 first, and if that isn't recognized or doesn't seem to match, to then go with the 5W. It has to be one of the two.

POST 5Original post

Just to add more confusion the sticker on my '01 lapis blue says L3A8

POST 6Original post

Lapis Blue Metallic used paint code 3A9 for models up to and including MY02. The code changed to M5W for MY03 and newer.

POST 7Original post

I see 3A8 is the water based version, is that true for all U.S. cars or did some tree hugging hippy paint mine?

POST 8 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

thanks - I just need to be sure because he's painting something that needs to match. I should probably just wait until I get home to be certain.

POST 9Original post

My 2002 C4S is lapis blue and the paint code is 3A8.

As Loren stated, the Option sticker lists M5W as the color code for my 2004 Lapis Blue 996.

Yes, it changed in model year 2003 (as I stated above). This information comes from both the Carrera Service manual (last updated in 2004) and the current Porsche parts list January 2008.

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