Hi All I have a 2002 C4S in Guards Red and I need the paint code, the label under the Hood has been cleaned with something like TFR that has faded the info so that I cannot see it, and the Details in the Front of the Service Book have gone unless it's any place else I am stumped.

From MY02, the same colour code is used for water based paints and conventional paints.

As they only use water based paints now, I guess they use the water based codes.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

8 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

Hi All I have a 2002 C4S in Guards Red and I need the paint code, the label under the Hood has been cleaned with something like TFR that has faded the info so that I cannot see it, and the Details in the Front of the Service Book have gone unless it's any place else I am stumped. I would suppose being a solid colour there would be 'one' Code around 2002/03 for Guards Red, can any one please supply it. I have ordered my new rear wing and also getting the Turbo/C4S chin spoiler in PU Spoiler from www.misha911.com chin spoiler www.mashaw.com

POST 4Original post

No problem [ ] However as the car is a few years old the bodyshop will probably have to vary the colour slightly from the standard "new" shade to account for fading. Where are you getting the work done?

POST 5Original post

[anorak n] 80K is the code for conventional paint 84A is the code for water-based paint [anorak ff] Paint codes are shown in the Members Only DIY section, but if you don't tell anyone you can download a copy from here: https://www.porscheclubgb.com/legacy/clientftp/Register/996/faq_996_paint_codes.pdf

POST 6Original post

I may have missread the "Notes: ​ From MY02, the same colour code is used for water based paints and conventional paints. ​ Water-based paints (normal text) and Conventional paints ( bold text )" bit... (From the RennTech article - I forgot you had it over here!). Reading it again, I'm still not sure which one it means is the same colour code?

POST 7Original post

I'm not either. As they only use water based paints now, I guess they use the water based codes. The other place to look for the paint code is in the front of the luggage compartment on the left side wall under the carpet lining.

POST 8 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks for the Info............"Nods as good as a wink" on that page..... promise not to tell! I have a choice of two Companies one is a Friend of a colleague 'Terry' at 'Pride and Joy' Middlesbrough and the other that sounds a Tad more expensive [but may be the better choice] is a 'Preston Farm' Stockton who as you suggest would Digitaly match the colour. I will post a picture when it's done.......Thanks again Both!
