Just knocked this chart up which might be of use to those choosing an exterior colour.

Thank you! :)

I would like to be able to spec GT Silver under the PTS. Not sure if that's possible. (not that I am looking :lol: )
The Dolomite Silver still looks like it's got a blueish tint in some outdoor photos.

Thanks Semerka.

Just getting my head round these PTS colours - are they basically any colour you roll up with and give them a sample of, "extra" colours that Porsche use/have used before (maybe on other models), colours Porsche have a sample of or a mixture of all three etc?

The colour has to have been 'approved' for use on that model. Other than that yes pretty much any previously used colour. It does add a significant wait to the order and you may find some hidden costs in addition to the extra paint charge. In my case I had to have a reverse camera. Even though I did not want one. The reason given was that the paint colour I had chose, riviera blue, is an old colour and used to be a very thick paint. In order to achieve the true depth of colour nowadays it requires more paint. Apparently this will affect the reversing sensors hence the requirements for the reversing camera. Which I then had to pay for of course😁

Thanks Bloosoo + sorry to hear re your extra camera costs.

Presumably that means someone like Katie Price can't just come along and order a pink one then - unless it's been used on a Macan before or she gets it approved for use on one.

I would also add that you have to do all the work. There are no easy paint sample cards to choose from. It involves trawling old photos. Visiting shows to see the colour in the flesh and in different light conditions. It can be totally worth it in the end though.

Thanks Bloosoo for the insight. 😎

I thought that certain Porsche paints from other models were reserved for that model only, to make them more exclusive.

That's really interesting, thanks.
I wonder if there were other technical cards on the table here, but Porsche rejected them?

And as I found out yesterday, you can't buy a touch up stick for PTS paint from Porsche. They give you a code that you can use to get someone else to mix it for you. I suspect that might be expensive :shock:
