I have the 908 swatch. There is no way anyone could confuse them as the same color.
The swatches I posted on the other page are not mine and do not show how silver the color is, (or it could be my monitor.)
Either way, here is another swatch, and yes 908 looks just like that.
908
L93Z

Thank you for the pictures.
Would you happen to know if the color is 908, 908/80, or 908/98?

Compared to my factory painted Martini the white in the above pictures looks to bright. Could be the photos or my monitor though.

AH, I see now.... Sorry. I've been looking at the wrong years.
Edit: It appears that Porsche started using this Grand Prix white back in the 80's, under the paint code L908.
I will see if I can find the formula tomorrow and see how well it matches with L93Z.

Also added some pics of some waterbased grand prix white paint as it is pre mixed and gives you a better idea of final colour
