That can't possibly be the original paint.

Well spotted again, Captain.

No it is not the original paint. The car got resprayed about 4-5 years ago with the exact same paint material (oem) that Porsche uses from the factory (both paint + clear coat). Imported from France and very hard to get in small qty... forgot the name of the chemicals/Co (my indy used to work for Porsche and kept his connections there!).

Up close it is a bit sick... the car got wet sanded with #1200 up to #4000 grit after the 4 (four) clear coats then buffed/finished with a compound. Double-price but very special.

Thx for noticing it btw Was hard work....
