Porsche Dolomite Silver Metallic (M7P) Touch Up Paint

The Look

This is a high-tech, clinical, and sharp finish that looks like a precision instrument. If you are working on a 911 or a Cayman, you already know how this shade emphasizes the body lines with its ice-cold, blue-tinted reflections. Unlike the warmer, more traditional GT Silver, this color feels modern and architectural. It is a chameleon that thrives in the shade or on an overcast day, where that crisp blue undertone really comes to life. It gives your Boxster or Cayenne a frozen, metallic edge that feels much more expensive than a standard silver.

Technical Details

This is a complex metallic finish with a very high flake density. Because these silver flakes are heavy, they tend to settle at the bottom of the container almost immediately. If you are not careful, you might run into mottling, which looks like dark, cloudy patches or stripes on the surface. This happens when the metal flakes clump together rather than laying flat in an even rows. While this finish is incredible for hiding light road dust and minor scratches, it demands a steady hand to ensure the light hits those flakes uniformly across the repair area.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Porsche Dolomite Silver Metallic (check for code M7P), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. You can typically find your code on a white paper label tucked near the spare tire or printed on the inside cover of your maintenance manual. Test the color on the included card first to make sure the metallic shimmer matches your specific car. When you start, keep the container moving in steady, overlapping passes. Avoid letting the paint get too wet in one spot, as this causes the silver to sink and darken. Give it plenty of drying time between light layers so the flakes can lock into place before you move on to the clear coat.
