Viper Green GT3 RS - Color Code

[Phil Downe]

Hi, does anyone know the color code for the Viper Green on the 2008 997 GT3RS?

I'd like to have a small "toolbox/track tires" trailer painted in the same color for him when the car arrives, hopefully in September. Cheers,

You must post pictures when done! Are you fitting a towbar to the RS?

Thanks, but I've see the 72 - 73 green and it does not appear to be as vivid as the lime green color in this video link of the new 997 GT3RS:

I've not seen the two colours in the flesh side-by-side.
You can't go by electronic images.
Nowadays paint manufacturers are not allowed to use the same materials that they used even ten years ago, so the two may perforce be different, even if Porsche sought to replicate the original.
Best bet is to call Porsche Cars Great Britain, in Reading.

In the brochures Porsche decrible the colout as "green"...no mention of viper or signal at all.

Thanks I think I got it. Downtown Porsche - Toronto called and gave me the Part Code: 2D8. I've passed that along to the paint shop and we'll see if they come up with the right paint. Cheers,
