I figured out the paint code for the silver details within the cabin - L4W9.

The glossy silver details are usually referred to as Alumalook.



I sprayed a pencil as a test, including clear, and it's bang on. So I can definitely say that the paint code for Alumalook is L4W9!


I'm considering colour coding the roll hoops to the exterior, and doing the console in Alumalook. I think that any combo will look much better than it does now so I'll not overthink it.

Oh, I also broke a roof mechanism pushrod on the weekend - and due to impatience I paid 5 or six times too much by buying the pushrod from Porsche - they wouldn't supply the broken plastic section on its own. At least install is easy.

Finally, I replaced the crank angle sensor today as the Durametric was showing me a code but, *sob*, the car is still not starting. I'm rather annoyed as I shouldn't have jumped at a simple code - the taco was moving. I got overexcited at having a code for a known weak component that would cause a non-start. Stupid. At least it wasn't too expensive.

I'll pull a plug when I get time to take another look. Back to basics...got lazy.
