Why The Two-Step Paint System?

Your 1978 Porsche 911 Carrera is painted at the factory with a high quality basecoat/clearcoat system. This two-step paint system consists of step one, the basecoat, which is your car’s actual color, and step two, the clearcoat, the specially formulated clear paint that protects the base color and provides the luster and deep shine your vehicle came with when new. AutomotiveTouchup products faithfully reproduce your vehicle manufacturer’s basecoat/clearcoat system.

Here's what our customers are saying about our Touch Up Paint:

John W, owner of a 1978 Porsche 911 Carrera from Denver, CO

The Porsche color code 107 (continental orange) that I ordered did a satisfactory job of matching the car's paint. In low light, i.e., morning or early evening, the color match is good. At high noon in direct light the paint seems to lean too much to the red spectrum, it clearly shows up darker than the existing paint. But just to be fair, without a color sample to compare to it can be difficult to get an exact match. Additionally, the car received a new paint job a few years back and even though the paint shop is the same one used by Prestige Porsche in Lakewood, it is possible that they used a different variance. So no hard feelings. Thanks for trying.

Bill C, owner of a 1978 Porsche 911 Carrera from Northwood, NH

I was pleasantly surprised to find the proper paint code and color for my 1978 Porsche. I haven’t applied it yet but Im looking forward to getting the needed touch up on some spots and having the clear coat to protect it too. Thanks you!

Marc Campisi, owner of a 1977 Porsche from Centerport, NY
