Frequently asked questions

What is the paint code for Porsche Mexico Blue?

Mexico Blue has carried Porsche paint code 336 (1974–1975). 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 Mexico Blue?

Our sources list Mexico Blue on the 911 (G-Series) (1974–1975, 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 Mexico Blue a Paint to Sample color?

Our sources list Mexico Blue 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 Mexico Blue may be a PTS order.

Mexico Blue vs Riviera Blue: what's the difference?

Mexico Blue (336) is a mid-1970s G-Series colour, a strong medium blue. Riviera Blue is a 993-era colour from the mid-1990s and is brighter and more saturated. Both are solid colours, and both are now popular Paint to Sample choices. On a period car, the model year usually tells you which one it is.

How can I tell if a Porsche is factory Mexico Blue?

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 336. A matching color name alone does not rule out a respray or wrap.
