Porsche Carrera GT Touch Up Paint (5 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

The Porsche Carrera GT didn't need a massive palette to make a statement; it let the V10 engine do the talking. We've recorded 5 main colors for this legend, ranging from the classic Guards Red-the color of every 1980s bedroom poster-to the sophisticated GT-Silver Metallic. They even offered Speed Yellow, which is essentially a speeding ticket in liquid form. Whether yours is a deep Black or the flake-heavy Basalt Black Metallic, these colors are iconic, but they live very close to the asphalt.

What to Watch For

Because the Carrera GT sits approximately two inches off the ground, it acts like a high-speed vacuum for pebbles. Stone chips are the primary enemy here, especially on that low-slung nose and the flared side intakes. You'll want to hunt down your paint code before you start; look for a white paper sticker on the underside of the front hood (the "frunk") or check the first page of your maintenance booklet. One thing to keep in mind: because this car is made of carbon fiber, a deep chip isn't just a "metal" problem-it's a tiny gap in the armor of a masterpiece.

Driveway Repair Tip

When you're working with GT-Silver Metallic or Basalt Black, the metallic flakes like to settle at the bottom of the bottle. Shake that paint for at least two full minutes-long after your arm gets tired-to ensure the "sparkle" is evenly distributed. Instead of using the giant brush that comes in the cap (which can leave a "pimple" of paint), try using a wooden toothpick to "dab" the color into the chip. It requires patience, but building up the color in two thin layers will give you a much smoother result than one big blob.
