What shade of blue is my car?
Hey, I need to order some touch-up paint. I think the car is Zenith Blue, but there are some similar shades when I research it (the paint code sticker is gone).
So, what say you? The car appears different shades, depending on lighting, so here's a few pix (sorry for the super gigantic ones):
Thanks!

Yep, Zenith Blue. You should also be able to confirm using the sticker under the front trunk carpet, if the white sticker under the hood is gone:

Is there a square sticker inside the front hood? If so it will tell you lots about your car as there is both a code for the exterior color and one for the interior fabric.

No sticker under the hood. Zenith blue, I assume from the posts above. Thanks!

that is indeed the beautiful zenith blue. take it from a fellow zenith blue owner 
this color had to be custom ordered and was only available for 3 years for the 986 and 996 i believe 1999 to 2001.
by the way i think our cars are identical twins. did yours come with the grey top and you replaced it?

The top is original. I replaced the rear window a couple years ago.

The paint code is behind the carpet on the left frame rail right under the holes to adjust/remove the headlight

One of my favorite colors! I almost bought a Zenith Blue when I was looking for a 986, but it didn't pass my pre-PPI at the time.
