I recently received my Karosserie Reutter Certificate of Production for my 55 Speedster.In it it has a build sheet. It has a transparent sheet over the left side explaining what equipment they are describing but no explanations for the descriptions. I went to a German to English translation book and it helped me identify almost every word. Example hellgrau = light gray. What I didn't understand was the description for the wheels. "Rader" = wheels and the description was "Chromeffektlack". In looking this up it seemed to mean chrome effect. So question is, does this mean chrome wheels? Trim rings? Silver Painted?

Re: Reutter Certificate
Chrome effect lacquer = painted silver wheels

Re: Reutter Certificate
Hi, How do I go about obtaining the Karosserie Reutter Certificate of Production. I am starting a rotisserie restoration of my 64 356C. Apparently it has a rare factory electric sunroof and I am trying to get the facts for it.
Thank you
Jim

Re: Reutter Certificate
My Certificate has the same description, but as fas as i understand from a Porsche Classic centre this is not silver nor chrome but some kind of coating.
Chrome effect lack would be more chiny than silver i would think.
Any other with this description ?
What would be the description with painted wheels in silver or exterior color?

Re: Reutter Certificate
Has anyone ever seen that type of finish on ANY 356 wheel?
Pep Boys might have something...
I have not. Chrome or Silver paint, or body color way back...

Re: Reutter Certificate
Don is correct. Chromeffektlack means that the wheels were painted silver lacquer. It was not a paint that was made to look shiny like lacquer.
