Hi Gill,
From the Porsche Diesel web page at
http://www.porsche-diesel.com/svc_repair.aspx
Q: What are the paint codes for my Porsche-Diesel?
A: The correct German paint codes are as follows:
German # for the red is RAL 3002 - Dupont USA is #G1152
German # for light yellow I RAL 1014 - Dupont USA is #G1129
German # for Orange for the AP17 is 2010
OK, having said that, these codes really do not mean a lot. Why? If you try to repaint your tractor using the the German code number, every American paint manufacturer comes up with a different shade of red or yellow or orange. Similarly, when you try to touch up parts of your tractor, the body shop will need to scan a clean part of the tractor so they can match your slightly faded paint just perfectly.
If you are repainting your entire tractor then the correct American mixing codes for red and light yellow are provided below courtesy of a Registry member who went through a lengthy process to make his tractor perfect:
