The Great Conda Green Paint Code Mystery
Posted: Fri Jan 13, 2006 7:36 pm
After hanging around in the paint shop for most of last year my 1970 model 911T is about to get its top coat. However I have a problem with the paint codes. The data plate on the ‘A’ pillar gives a 2626 paint code. My spotters guide (Original 911 by Peter Morgan) lists Conda Green as a 222 code for 2.2 litre cars and a 2626 code for 2.4 litre cars.
So in theory my car should carry the code 222 being 2.2 litres (C programme) but it carries 2626 instead. I wonder if it is at variance being a Karmann manufactured car as opposed to a Stuttgart one or perhaps my guide is wrong.
My main concern though is whether 222 and 2626 are in reality exactly the same colour or whether they are a few shades apart. The paint suppliers only seem to recognise the 222 code.
