The paint code on my early 99 996 is 3AZ. I have seen it also listed as 3AY. Does anybody know the difference between the two codes?

TIA

3AY/E1

3AZ/E1

On pre MY02 cars they used a separate color code for water based paint vs. conventional paint.

For Ocean Blue Metallic -- 3AZ is water based paint and 3AY is conventional paint.

Ok. I don't know if this is true or not, but I was told (by a paint guy) that "L" stands for laquer, or an "A" would stand for acrylic. He went on to say that Porsche does not use anything but laquer.
