Frequently asked questions

What is the paint code for Porsche Bahama Yellow?

Bahama Yellow has carried Porsche paint code 6605 (1967 code (L6605)). Porsche reuses names across eras with different codes, so match the code on the car's option sticker or build sheet rather than the name alone.

Which Porsche models and years came in Bahama Yellow?

Our sources list Bahama Yellow on the 911 / 912 (original) (1966–1973, standard color). If you see it on a model or year not listed, it may be a Paint to Sample order or a respray — the build sheet for the VIN shows which.

Is Bahama Yellow a Paint to Sample color?

Our sources list Bahama Yellow as a standard color rather than Paint to Sample. Porsche's Paint to Sample program can still apply many past colors to new cars, so a recent car in Bahama Yellow may be a PTS order.

How can I tell if a Porsche is factory Bahama Yellow?

Read the paint code on the option sticker (in the maintenance booklet and, on most models, in the front luggage compartment) or on a build sheet for the VIN, and compare it with 6605. A matching color name alone does not rule out a respray or wrap.
