Porsches are VAG parts bin products so you probably know more than you thought! Availability and their colour formulations are good, I don't think there is anything especially fancy about the paint other than the price they'd charge you.

You are spot on as ever. Although I’m not quite so sure on my own knowledge as I spent far too many decades obsessing over alloy wheels and not always to good effect!
I was trying not to get drawn into this thread too much but it did tickle me reading the first page seeing the off the cuff quotes on paint codes. Brilliant stuff! Gotta love real car enthusiasts’ never ending search for perfection going into the tiniest details. The devil is indeed in the detail.

I have to moderate the level of geekery to avoid social pariah status.  :laugh:

Passion is to be appreciated in whatever form. Although I have it on good authority that 8-10% prices are now in place for new orders and if you want paint to sample - just a non standard colour - that's £8k. Special wishes department will be getting requests for body in white and all the parts boxed if the prices continue like that!  :grin:
