Porsche 928 911 SC Turbo Touch Up Paint (33 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Porsche didn't just give us a car; they gave us a palette that defined an era. With 33 recorded colors, they really went for it, offering everything from the earthy, sophisticated Mocha Brown and Rosewood Metallic to the vibrant, head-turning Minerva Blue Metallic. Whether you're rocking a 928 or a Turbo with those wide hips, these cars were built to be seen-and the color names like Moss Green Metallic and Wine Red suggest the designers were spending a lot of time in the Black Forest with a glass of Riesling.

What to Watch For

Now for the "treasure hunt." Finding your paint code on these models can feel like a game of hide-and-seek. Check the driver's door jamb first, but if it's not there, pop the hood and look along the firewall or the underside of the hood itself. Still nothing? Dig into the trunk-some codes are hiding on a paper label near the spare tire.

As for the paint itself, cars from this era (late 70s to 80s) often face the "sunburn" effect where the clear coat starts to peel, or the classic Guards Red begins its slow transformation into a dusty pink. You'll also want to keep an eye on the nose and the flared rear arches; those wide hips are absolute magnets for road debris and rock chips.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since so many of these classic Porsche shades are metallics (like Diamond Silver or Light Blue Metallic), your biggest secret weapon is a good wrist workout. Shake your touch-up bottle or spray can for a full 60 to 90 seconds to wake up those metallic flakes-otherwise, the color will look "flat" once it dries.

When applying, resist the urge to fill a chip with one giant drop of paint. Use a tiny brush or even a toothpick to apply thin, whisper-light layers, letting it dry for 15 minutes between each go. It requires more patience than a one-and-done blob, but your Porsche's "hips" will thank you for the professional-looking finish.
