998 Frame Powdercoat Colour

  1. After a nightmare with cerakoat, I've settled on powdercoating my frame so it can finally be put back together.

    For those that have powdercoated their 998 (or 996) frame - what colour / code was it?
     
  2. As you mentioned 998 or 996, I presume you mean the grey as opposed to the older 996/916 bronze...

    I ran into this issue when trying to buy paint to match my Pitbull front stand to my rear stand and frame. The closest I got was this:

    I bought the aerosol kit and the match was pretty good tbh. Perhaps it's worth a try to reach out and push them for the paint code. Not sure how that would translate into a powder colour code.

  3. Paint code for the silver metallic frame (996) is : BASF 696,6113 dunno if that helps?

  4. Cheers both. I plumped for powdercoat RAL 9007 - the semi gloss variant. Hopefully it will look ok.
     
  5. Cool, please report back when applied as I need to match some wheels to a frame at some point! :upyeah:
