356SC paint colors

#1 Post by Phillip Schudmak »

Is anyone aware of a special order paint color 5012 for a 1963 SC coupe. The color is described as 'pastel blue' but I cannot find any mention of it in the standard references.

Nothing in Brett's book. The SC would be a '64 or '65 model year but of course could have been built in the latter part of '63. I thought special order paint codes started wih a "9".

Many thanks Mike and Doug. Your help is much appreciated. The 912 lead is a real breakthrough. The paint numbers are on the stamped on the ID plate, so we really need to check what is on the Kardex.

R5012 is a Lesonal color = Pastel blue; generally found on 911 & 912. Rather interesting to know it was used as early as 1963.
I can help with the Kardex; got one already today.

Other codes for the same paint would be 321 (codes used by Porsche from 1972) and 6826 used in 1968 & 1969. Can you post a photo of the badge please.
