Just go to any automotive paint store and check out the color library book. Look at the Porsche section and youll see all the color tabs of all the porsche colors. Find the tab you like, and it will have the paint code. Then have the dood working at the paint store make that paint code. For a whole fc, a grey mettalic, I would get at least 4 whole quarts. Paint now a days are waterbased... Its already ready 2shoot, so youl need to buy extra.. since its not like the older stuff where you mix 1to 1 paint and reducer...

Black metalflake will look good in that paint. Fine chips or lowrider dime sized barely unshootable *****?
