Porsche Additional Colors Touch Up Paint (6 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Porsche didn't just give us a color palette; they gave us a mood board for the German Autobahn. With only 6 recorded "Additional Colors" in this set, they really ran the gamut of personality. You've got the understated, "I'm a serious architect" Slate Gray Metallic, the royal depth of Iris Blue Pearl, and then there's Zanzibar Red-which is less of a color and more of a loud, glorious shout. Whether you're driving a sophisticated Platinum Metallic or the elusive Viola Pearl, Porsche definitely didn't play it safe.

What to Watch For

Because these cars sit closer to the asphalt than most of us do to our TV screens, the front bumper is a magnet for "road rash." Keep a close eye on the plastic trim and the areas around the door handles; Porsche paint is famous for its depth, but the clear coat can be a bit sensitive, especially on those plastic bits where it might decide to start peeling if a stone chip gets ignored too long. To find your specific code, go on a scavenger hunt: check under the front hood (the "frunk") for a white paper sticker, or peek at the first page of your owner's manual. If you see a code like L99, don't sweat it-that's just Porsche-speak for "this color is extra special."

Driveway Repair Tip

If you're working with Viola Pearl or any of the metallic shades, you need to be a human paint mixer. Those tiny sparkles love to settle at the bottom of the bottle like sand at the beach, so shake your touch-up pen or bottle for a full two minutes before you start. When you apply it, think "less is more." Use the tip of the brush to dab a tiny amount into the center of the chip and let it flow to the edges. It's much easier to add a second thin layer than it is to deal with a giant, dried-up grape sitting on your hood. Patience is your best friend here!
