Help Pls:Touch-Up Paint for "Volcano Grey" Parts?
I have stock Adaptive Sport Seat with the back of the seat painted in that color I think called volcano grey (?). I've found a couple of defects/scratches (from attache case) that need to be touched up. Does anyone know which color would match the volcano grey best? Is it Porsche Seal Grey? Or am I better off just going to Pep Boys, etc., and look for something that would match? TIA.

John,
Thanks. Sorry I wasn't clear, but these are only a couple of tiny 2mm diameter scratches I am talking about here. They do stand out a little bit because it's black underneath the paint and you know how our eyes subconsciouly "look for" defects.

few years ago I had a client with the same issue. we looked high and low, and never found anything. he ended up replacing the seatback shell, at 1100 a pop. he was a bit of a perfectionist (who isn't that own these cars). I would probably do what John suggested. it will be far more durable, and in the future you will be able to polish out small scratches.

I don't think that the seatbacks are painted, the volcano gray is probably the natural color of the plastic.

Volcano is not really a paint. It's baby poop, watered down and sprayed on.
Wonder why we paint so much of it these days? We paint it to body color or alumalook or ANY other finish, but not Volcano.
No idea what idiot at Porsche made the decision to use this color coating on anything in the car, because a) it sucks, and b) it really cannot be duplicated.

This looks very similar to volcano and is not glossy. I've used this for other car interiors.It doesn't look stainless steel like its called. If it's a little light I would just mix a little bit of black into it. Just spray a lil in a cup and use a brush.

Anyone know where to find alluma look paint? Same silver paint that is on the door handles? This is what my seat backs are colored in and I have a few nicks that I want to fix.
Someone told me that the OEM Arctic Silver would do the trick...anyone know for sure before I try?
