for the interior pieces? I know it is NOT arctic silver, so does anyone know the paint code?

 

pm msindi, he memorizes these codes.

 

Ryan,
Speak to Eric@Bumper Plugs, he knows for sure.

I think Eric once told me it was Arctic Silver.

Aluminum Look is clearly a different color (almost texture) than the arctic silver.

Eric, if you read this, do you know the code?

You are correct, I know its not the same 100% and I think it was Eric that told me that.... I am sure he will respond when he wakes up

There is both artic silver and alum look options for interior

 

 

It's more the paint technique than actual color. And it's a pain in the ***.

We have painted Arctic non smokers (for '00 and '01 cars) that had alumalook center consoles.

Once installed they were a perfect match.

Since then, I believe Porsche has gone to a more grainy finish under the clear.

We have been experimenting for a while. If anyone has alumalook parts that can be trashed for the lab, send them on.

Thanks.

 

It looks that they use a matte clear on the Alum, but the texture of the metalics is very tough to duplicate

 

I could not get the alu look code form ANYONE so I managed to get in touch with one of the big dogs at PAG and convinced them to take my stock PCM parts, etc. and refinish them in alu look at the exclusive shop in Germany...It was not cheap and shipping both ways was a hassle due to import duties

 

I don't think there is a code that a body shop or paint store could use to match it. The color should not be difficult to eye its the finish they use. Most good color matchers eyeball (with spayouts) silver anyway.
