Porsche Taycan Paint Info
The Color Breakdown
Porsche didn't hold back with the Taycan, giving us a massive library of 44 recorded colors. They really went for it, moving well beyond the "50 shades of grey" usually found in the electric car world. Whether you're rocking the bold, reptile-like Mamba Green Pearl, the surprisingly classy Frozen Berry Metallic, or the deep, coffee-shop vibes of Coffee Beige Metallic, your car is a rolling canvas. With names like Purple Sky and Neptune Blue, it's clear Porsche wanted this car to be seen-which makes those inevitable rock chips feel like a personal insult.
What to Watch For
Porsche paint is beautiful, but it's often described as "soft" by those of us who spend our weekends in the driveway. This means the Taycan's low, aerodynamic nose is basically a magnet for road debris. Keep a close eye on the front bumper and the flared rear arches; the clear coat here is a bit sensitive, and a tiny chip can lead to larger flaking if moisture gets underneath.
To find your exact match, start your hunt at the driver's side door jamb. If it's not there, check the front luggage compartment (the frunk)-you might need to pull back the carpet lining slightly to find the white sticker. Look for a code that's usually three or four characters long, often starting with the letter "L" (like LM7W) or "M" (like M5X).
Driveway Repair Tip
Since so many Taycan colors are heavy on the pearls and metallics (we're looking at you, Enzian Blue and Dolomite Silver), the "settling" of those sparkles is your biggest challenge. Before you open that touch-up bottle, shake it like you're mixing a high-end cocktail for at least two full minutes. This wakes up the metallic flakes so they don't all sit at the bottom.
When applying, patience is your best tool. Instead of trying to fill a chip with one big glob, use the tip of your applicator to drop in a tiny, thin layer. Let it dry for 15 minutes, then add another. Building the color up in layers ensures those pearls lay flat and catch the light just right, rather than looking like a dark smudge on your beautiful Porsche.
