Trying to determine how you know what your paint code is on your 996? I have a Black 2001 996 but have been told they're different Porsche blacks... Any help appreciated - thanks

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.

In the frunk, under the carpet on the driver's side fender there should be a sticker with the paint code. You can also run your VIN through Porsche and get a list of all options, codes, etc.

^this. Driver side crumple zone rail under carpet in frunk. It is a permanent type decal and is most reliable, since the hood and owners manual stickers are paper so offen fade, and/or go missing.
