Standard Paint Codes, 356/ 911/ 912/ 912E
Steve Torkelsen's (PCA-CTV) 1965 Champagne Yellow 912Porsche offered a palette of standard paint colors for all models, plus numerous special order colors.  A 1965 912 for example was available in the same colors as a 1965 356SC or 1965 911.  Below is a table of standard paint numbers, color codes, and paint names, listed chronologically by model years.  To view a list of rare special order colors, click here >>

The original paint color and vehicle identification number for a specific car was stamped on a chassis plate, then riveted to the left-hand door hinge post below the chassis number.  For 1976 912Es, the paint number should be on the middle of the plate, in a three digit (color code) - one digit (coachbuilder) - one digit (paint manufacturer) format.  In lieu of that plate, owners can request a Porsche Cars North America Certificate of Authenticity that includes the original paint code and much more information.

For 1967-1969 and 1976 model year 912s, additional prefix and suffix designations may be attached to the paint colors.  For example, a prefix number 97- signifies that the original paint was 140 degree C / 284 degree F 'baking paint', oven cured with all heat sensitive parts removed.  Original paint manufacturers are designated by suffix letters: L=Lechler G=Glasurit  (See also Glasurit Classic Car Colors and BASF-Glasurit) H=Herbol)
