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.

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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I am getting conflicting info as to the proper paint code. I am trying to get a scratch fixed on my bumper and my body shop uses PPG. Does anyone know the correct code? I looked on my hood sticker but the code there doesn't match the book. Thanks in a dvance.

POST 2Original post

L80K

POST 3Original post

Be careful AND observant. Have the shop do a sprayout to test the formula before they paint anything on the car. 80K and 84A are both Guards Red. In addition there are variants of the exact same formula on cars that you could only see if the cars were side by side. Speed Yellow has the same problem - at least 3 variants of the same formula. Just have them do the test first.

POST 4Original post

80K is conventional paint and 84A is water based paint

POST 5Original post

Bruce, Is your car Guards red? If so, just look inside the trunk for the paint code sticker.

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks everybody. Yeah, it says 84a on the sticker and 80k in the ppg book with a different name for the paint. I can't remember what the name was but it is not one I am familiar with from the Porsche pallet. The painter is going to do a sprayout to check the match. I hope he can get it right cause I don't like two tone.

POST 7Original post

Like everyone has said it is the paint code that matters. In my younger days I painted a few cars and a motorcycle. The same color paint can be used by different companies but each gives it their own name. If my failing memory is correct Porsche had a jungle green for the Boxster. Then it got changed to rain forrest green or it was still called jungle green outside the US. Same color with a more politically correct different name. Jeff

POST 8Original post

The 'name' used is often Indischrot, or something like that. In Porsche-speak, they call it India Red. Not sure why the world calls it Guards, but that is the same color in the database info.

POST 9 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Yup. Indischrot-India. That's what it says. Thanks. My painter is getting nervous over the match. Yahoo.
