When I was visiting Joe Cavagleri to deliver a twin-plug engine for a Speedster he was building for Jerry, he showed me the #12 908-3 that had just returned from a complete repaint at a shop in Oregon. The car had previously been painted in the Martini colors, and Jerry wanted to restore it back to its original Gulf design. The problem was that the colors had been matched incorrectly and even a novice would recognize the colors as “not quite right.” To add to the frustration, the car had been invited to Laguna Seca for Porsche’s 50 year anniversary celebration, and then to be displayed at the Pebble Beach Concours d’ Elegance, which were less than one month away! Joe’s question was “could we repaint it in three weeks?
