Help with my paint code? On my 2004 Turbo

The car just arrived last night. It is awesome, leather on every surface including the cruise stalks and vents with a light gray cross stiching.
The car has L999 paint code, it is listed as -$3490.00 Metallic Paint to Sample.

PS: how can I post a pic?

IIRC, it means it's a one-off factory paint color. L999 could mean a number of different colors. It's simply the catch all code for when a customer orders a non-standard metallic patin color.

What I'm saying is this; As I understand it, whatever color your car is (possibly Carrera GT Silver)...the paint code is L999 because it is not a standard color.

It was a custom paint job ordered by the original owner of the car, hence it got the paint code L999. If it had been Mystic Blue...it would have gotten paint code L999. Had it been Solar Yellow...it would have gotten L999. L999 can mean many different colors...as long as they are non-standard Porsche colors.
