Is LA3Y the same as Y2?
Manufacturer codeLA3YUsually the one on your car’s label
Supplier codeY2
A single factory colour is often recorded under more than one code: the manufacturer’s own code, an industry standard number, and a supplier code. They all mix to the same paint. The code printed on your vehicle’s paint label is the one to match.
This is what the paint label looks like on a Porsche. The code on it is the one to match.
Which Porsche models came in Surinam Metallic (LA3Y)?
Will LA3Y match my Porsche if the paint has faded?
The kit is mixed to the LA3Y formula — the same code printed on your vehicle’s paint label — not colour-matched by eye. On panels that still carry their factory paint, that reproduces the original tone.
Where it will not match
Panels bleached by years of sun sit lighter than the factory formula. The kit reproduces the original colour, not the faded one.
A panel that has already been resprayed is no longer the factory colour, so the code will not describe it.
Metallic and pearl finishes are harder to blend across a large area than solid colours — they are at their best on chips and thin scratches.
Damage larger than a few centimetres, or down to bare metal over a wide area, is body-shop work.

Passt für meinen Porsche 981 Boxster GTS
Mein Porsche Boxster sammelt wie er soll die kleine Steinschläge. Diese Farbe lässt sie sehr gut korrigieren. Vor allem überzeugt es, wie einfach der Einsatz ist. Im Vergleich zu den 2 Komponentenfarben, hier muss man no…
