Where to find Porsche color code

How to Find Your Porsche's Color Code

Porsche paint codes are often hard to find. They are usually near the spare tire area, printed on a paper color ID tag that may fall off with time. The owner's manual for some models sometimes lists paint codes. Porsche uses the same color across different models, and the same code may appear under different color names. Codes can be four characters starting with L or three characters, using letters and numbers.

Your Paint Color Profile

Amethyst Metallic

The Look

This is not just another dark purple; it is a deep, jewel-toned violet that looks like it was pulled straight from a gemstone. If you are driving a Panamera or a 911 from the last decade, you know this color is a chameleon. In the shade, it can almost pass for a sophisticated black, but as soon as you pull it into the light, the violet explodes. It gives the Cayenne a sense of weight and luxury that silver or white simply cannot match. Since your car has likely seen a few years of sun and road debris, you will notice that this shade holds its depth well, provided you keep the surface clean of oxidation.

Technical Details

This finish is a high-load metallic, which means it is packed with tiny flakes that catch the light to create that signature shimmer. The biggest risk when you are working with a metallic like this is mottling, or what some call striping. If the flakes do not lay down flat and even, you will end up with dark patches that look like shadows on the paint. To avoid this, you need to ensure the paint stays mixed. Because the pigments and flakes are different weights, they will settle at different speeds. If you do not keep the pigments suspended, the color will look too dark at the start and too "sparkly" at the end.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Porsche Amethyst Metallic (check for code M4Z/N6), you need to shake it for at least sixty seconds to get those metallic flakes moving. You can usually find your code on a white paper sticker in the driver's side door jamb or tucked inside the first few pages of your owner's manual in the glove box. On a Cayenne or Panamera, check the floor of the trunk near the spare tire area. Always test the color on the included card before touching your car to ensure the metallic density looks right. When applying, keep the container moving in steady, even passes to prevent the paint from pooling. Let the drying time work for you; multiple thin layers will always look better than one heavy, wet coat that might sag or darken.

Will absolutely order from this company again.

After ordering touch-up paint from Lexus I was still waiting for it a month later. If they'd told me upfront it would take that long I wouldn't have ordered in the first place. Paint Scratch was recommended by a friend who restores cars. Easy ordering, fair price and fast shipping. The color match is great especially considering my car is a 2012. Will absolutely order from this company again. Reason I chose this business: Lexus collision repair and a local collision repair. Will use paint less dent removal and touch up chipped paint myself. Reason I chose this product: Spouse sideswiped passenger side of car while backing out of garage. Mostly plastic transfer from his wheel well trim but pressure creased and cracked the paint causing a bare strip 1/8 wide x 4” long below door handle. Scratches on door handle and a few small chips on both doors.

Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans

Used Paint Scratch metallic custom mixed spray cans paint on a hood panel with excellent coverage and texture over the surface. Metallic paint can be very unforgiving out of a spray can, sputtering pigmentation dots on the panel being sprayed and thus ruining the paint job. No such issues with Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint spray cans. Paint sprayed strong and evenly till the last drop of paint in the can. Shipping time was faster than expected. Reason I chose this business: Having tried other brands of custom mixed metallic paint with terrible results, sputtering pigmentation tint dots from the spray nozzle in spite of vigorously shaking of can prior to application and loss of propellant rendering the lower fifth of the can's paint useless, Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint sprays out beautifully and strong all the way to the last gram of paint in the can. Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans for automotive restoration. Thank you Paint Scratch.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find my vehicle’s paint code?

Your paint code is usually found in the driver’s door jamb, trunk, or under the hood. See our Porsche Paint Code Guide for detailed instructions.

Will this paint match my car?

Yes. If your Porsche's color code is 'M4Z/N6', your paint is custom-mixed to factory specs and backed by our Color Match Guarantee. If the paint does not match your Porsche, we will send you a replacement or refund.

Do I need primer and clearcoat?

While primer is recommended on bare metal or plastic, clearcoat is essential: it protects the basecoat and restores factory gloss.

How long does shipping take?

Orders are mixed fresh and ship within 3–5 business days. Delivery takes 2–14 days depending on location.

Which touch up product should I choose?

 It depends on the size of the damage:

  • Paint Pen (½ oz) – Best for very small chips and fine scratches.
  • Brush Bottle (2 oz) – Great for medium chips or scratches up to the size of a quarter.
  • Spray Can – Ideal for larger areas and panels.
  • Professional Sizes (Pint, Quart, Gallon) – Designed for full panel and vehicle resprays using spray equipment.

Not sure? If it’s just rock chips or small scratches, start with a Paint Pen.

Can I return my order?

Yes! If there’s a color match issue, we’ll replace the product or give you your money back. You also can return unopened, non-custom accessories for a full refund.

How long will the paint last in storage?

Paint pens and bottles last about a year if stored cool and dry. Spray cans can last several years if the nozzle is cleaned.
