I am looking to change a a black ashtray delete option for my center console to Aluma-look. Can anyone recommend a brand of paint and the color/code that will best match the OEM Aluma-look trim? Thanks.

 

isn't aluma look power coating? may want to check bumperplug to see if they sell it

 

It may be powder coat, but I figured that someone had to have painted some trim pieces themselves to match. I know a lot of people have painted their entire center consoles. I tried to order the ashtray delete from Eric and Bumperplugs but they no longer sell just that part (only the entire center console).

 

Here's information your local paint shop can use to mix aluma look

The paint is Spies Hecker. Code 4W9
Ref No.745710
Color: ALU 03 - Effect
Series 293

 

Thanks Fly!

 

Fly!!! You The Greatest!!!! I found out Porsche uses 4 character codes for paint so the code they reference is L4W9 Spies Hecker is made by DuPont. The DuPont Code is X1070. I will post pictures of its turnout asap. Here is some dips and drabs for now. More applications to follow!!

 

I went a less permanent route and used Aluminum Plasti Dip. Came out great and i can peel it off when and if I don't want it anymore.

 

Guys, I know this is a really old thread, but when using the Spies Hecker L4W9 or dupont equivalent, do you also use a clear coat? My aluminum look trim on the exterior of my Cayenne turbo has a more satin/matte look, and Im no paint expert so do you use a satin/matter clear over this or can you get the L4W9 mixed in a satin/matte?

Im ready to do the roof rails and want to give my paint shop a jump start on using the right color, and want to make sure the sheen is also correct.

Thanks
