Porsche Macan Touch Up Paint (52 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Porsche didn't just release a crossover; they released a rolling art gallery. With 52 recorded colors for the Macan, they really went for it. Whether you're sporting the vibrant Miami Blue, the punchy Papaya Metallic, or the sophisticated Mahogany Metallic, your car was clearly painted by someone who wasn't afraid of the spice rack. It's a far cry from the "50 shades of grey" you see in most parking lots, though they did include Volcano Gray just to keep things grounded.

What to Watch For

Before you pop that cap, we need to find your "Birth Certificate"-the paint code. Porsche likes to play a little game of hide-and-seek with these. Your first stop should be the spare tire compartment; look for a white paper sticker. If it's not there, check the inside cover of your owner's manual. You're looking for a 3 or 4-digit code (like M7S or L1J).

Keep an eye on the roof lines and the edges of the plastic bumpers. Macan owners have noted that the clear coat can sometimes be a bit "shy" and start peeling in those high-friction spots, especially if the car spent its early life under a hot sun or went through the car wash a few too many times. If you see a small flake starting, catching it now with a touch-up pen is the best way to keep that "factory fresh" look without a trip to the shop.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since so many Macan colors-like Mamba Green Pearl or Dolomite Silver Metallic-are packed with metallic flakes and pearls, they require a little extra love. Shake your touch-up bottle for a full 60 seconds (longer than you think!) to wake up those heavy metallic particles that settle at the bottom. When applying, think "thin and patient." Instead of trying to fill a chip with one big glob, dab a tiny amount into the center and let it flow to the edges. If it's a deep chip, wait 20 minutes and do a second light layer. It's a marathon, not a sprint, but your hood will thank you.
