Fjord Green color match

FM Former Member
Gentlemen (and ladies?),

I am planning to purchase a Speedster later this spring and will use the car pictured at the following link as a model to replicate. It looks like I can come pretty close with the options offered by Vintage Speedster. That said, I need to know if anyone knows of a modern-day auto paint color or recipe of colors that can be used to match the original color of Fjord Green? If anyone has any ideas, it will let me know what to specify. See the link for an example:

Thanks everyone,

Alan

This is very confusing. When I bought my car, it was a 2001 vintage supposedly (according to the Vintage papers) Aquamarine stock color. It is no where near Aquamarine. It is not the same color as the the original pix in this string, but it is similar to the color data base from TCP. I just took the bumper in to TCP and they did a pretty good match. If the picture is Fjord green, it doesn't look like the color chart in the last link.

Cosmin, I have not talked with Kirk about this yet . . . just doing the groundwork first.

Next question . . . do VS cars come with accurate badging (including the word 'Porsche') on them, or do I need to go to Klasse 356 and order all the correct script? Do they come from VS with "Speedster" on the dash, or the correct "Porsche"?
