Porsche Panamera Touch Up Paint (75 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

The Porsche Panamera is the executive car that clearly didn't get the memo to stay boring. With 75 recorded colors in the database, Porsche really went for it-ranging from the radioactive Mamba Green Pearl and Papaya Metallic to what feels like fifty different shades of "serious businessman" gray, like Aventurine Green and Volcano Gray. Whether your car is finished in the rare Sweet Date Gold or the iconic GT-Silver, you aren't just driving a sedan; you're driving a 4,000-pound canvas.

What to Watch For

Porsche paint is famous for its depth, but it can be a bit "soft," meaning it picks up hairline scratches if you so much as look at it wrong. Because of that long, sloping nose, the hood is a magnet for rock chips-often referred to as "peppering." You should also keep an eye on the rocker panels and the area around the door handles, as these high-traffic spots tend to show wear first. To find your paint code: skip the door jamb. You'll usually find the 3- or 4-digit code (like LM7W) on a white paper sticker tucked inside the spare tire compartment or printed on the very first page of your Owner's Manual.

Driveway Repair Tip

If you're working with one of those deep, complex pearls like Amethyst Metallic or Cherry Metallic, your secret weapon is a stopwatch. Shake your touch-up bottle for a full 60 to 90 seconds-those heavy metallic flakes love to nap at the bottom of the bottle, and you need them awake to get a good match. When filling a chip on the hood, don't try to "brush" the paint on. Instead, use the tip of your applicator to drop a tiny bead of paint right into the center of the chip and let it flow outward. It requires a bit of patience, but letting the paint settle naturally will give you a much smoother finish than trying to wipe it flat.
