Porsche Creme White (51A/T2) Touch Up Paint

The Look

This color defines a specific era for the 911 and Cayman, moving away from the clinical, cold whites of the past toward something with more soul. Since your Boxster or Cayenne has been on the road for over a decade, you likely appreciate how this shade avoids looking like a household appliance. It carries a distinct warmth that feels heritage-inspired, almost like the classic Porsche tones of the seventies. It is a sophisticated choice that makes the car look expensive even when it is standing still, though its creamier base will show road grime much faster than a traditional bright white.

Technical Details

This is a solid finish, which is both a blessing and a challenge for your repair. Because there are no metallic flakes or pearls hiding in the mix, you do not have to worry about the "mottling" effect where flakes bunch up and create dark streaks. However, solid pigments are heavy and settle at the bottom of the container quickly. If you do not mix the paint thoroughly, the color will come out looking too thin or slightly off-hue. Before you spray or dab Porsche Creme White (check for code 51A/T2), you need to shake it for 60 seconds to ensure those dense pigments are fully suspended.

Best Practices

You can find your color information on a white paper sticker located under the front luggage compartment carpet or tucked into the first few pages of your maintenance book. When you are ready to begin in your garage or a patch of shade, remember to test the color on the included card first to confirm the match against your existing panels. Whether you are using a nozzle or a brush, apply the paint in thin, deliberate layers rather than one heavy coat. Keep the container moving at all times to maintain a steady flow and prevent the paint from pooling. Give each layer enough drying time to become tacky before adding the next one.
