The metallic paint of 1987 Model 911 and 928 S4 cars was changed from Low Solid quality (LS) to Medium Solid quality (MS).

MS paint produces considerably less solvents than LS paint and requires an extensive change in application methods.

In order to avoid changes in application for repair spraying, two-component paint in Low Solid quality can be supplied from parts for 1987 Model cars.

The shade of this repair paint is adapted to that of standard MS paint.

Consequently, the same respraying procedures apply for 1987 Models as in the past (refer to: "Repair Guide - Car Repair Spraying" brochure, order number WKD 458 720).

Important:

The following information is absolutely necessary when ordering paints:

FIGURE 1:




Standard and special body colors:
(Figure 1)

1. Paint name
2. Part number with paint code e.g. metallic cassis red: 911 095 903 80 80D

FIGURE 2:




"Body color to choice": (Figure 2)

1. Vehicle Identification Number
2. Paint name
3. Complete paint number (instead of part number) e.g. metallic pacific blue: 31G 93 MS
In some cases different paint codes are used for the same color name for production reasons.

Consequently, it is absolutely necessary to quote the color code found on the paint data plate in the car when ordering paint.

This paint code (three digits) must be added to the part number found in group 0/04/00 of the parts catalog for standard and special body colors.

Location of the paint data plate:
911 Carrera & 911 Turbo: Luggage compartment right side
928 S4: Left door lock pillar
