Best place to get Agate Gray paint
Anyone know the best matching paint for the Agate Gray? My local paint guy painted my GTS front bumper but doesn't match good. He used PPG paint. Thanks in advance.
That’s on your Paint guy. Even within runs of the cars the color may slightly vary. The factory uses PPG. The paint at your body shop is different in that it’s water based and they baked the paint at lower temps. A good painter will spend the time(sometimes a lot of time) doing spray out cards to capture the variance of the Agate Gray. You have to make sure texture is correct and even how many coats of clear are correct. When you look at the 3 ft section of a pool vs a 8 ft section the blue at the bottom looks different. It’s no different if there is too much clear on the paint.
Getting the paint at your local Porsche dealers body shop won’t solve the problem. Find s better shop.
