Exterior Paint Color

[Ada]

Hi there,
can someone tell me colour name of the exterior paint colour A2A2 (1981 Porsche 911 SC)? It's a special paint color and unfortunately I know only the colour code.
Your help would be really appreciated.
Thanks.

It is indeed a non porsche colour. This website

http://www.automotivetouchup.com/choosecolor/choosecolor.aspx?year=2006&make=Audi&model=All%20Models

indicates it would be a 2006 Audi paint code calledA2A2 Brilliant black?

Do you have any info whether it was repainted in the service history?

Best regards,


Bert

Thanks for your fast answer.
It was never repainted - it's an original colour, but it was a special order.
I know A1A1 is black, but what's A2A2? It doesn't look like black, more anthracire.

Like Bert's website says, a2a2 is probably "brilliant black". It's a marketing thing. To any sensible person, the colour is "really really dark grey" Marketing types would react pretty badly to something like that. "can't call it that - far too dark sounding" "yes, but it's a realy dark colour" "don't care. Sounds really negative, lovey. Grey is SO monastic and monotonal" "see what you mean, sweetie. What about Irridescent Black?" "Too complicated for the punters lovey. How about Brilliant Black?" "fantastic! Cressida! Send Audi a bill for £300,000. We've solved their grey problem!". "break out the Bolly dahling!"

Thanks for your answers.
But can someone tell me how it's possible that the car has an original Porsche factory paint from 1981 in A2A2 and A2A2 is a non Porsche colour. I'm quite confused.
I never thought I was possible in 1981 to choose a non Porsche colour for your 911.
