Your Paint Color Profile

M9A - Crayon

The Look

You are looking at one of the most successful colors in the modern Porsche lineup. Whether it is on a 911 or a Cayenne, this flat grey provides a minimalist aesthetic that makes traditional metallics look dated. It carries a heavy dose of heritage, calling back to the classic putty greys of the 356 era. Since your 718 or Boxster has spent time on the road, you might notice the color shifts between a warm cream and a cool concrete depending on the lighting. It is a sophisticated choice, but because it lacks metallic flake, it highlights every bit of road grime and tar that kicks up from your tires.

Technical Details

This is a solid finish, which is both a benefit and a challenge for a home repair. The advantage is that you do not have to worry about the orientation of metallic particles or the risk of stripes. The challenge is that a solid color offers nowhere for a heavy application to hide. Every ridge or thick drop will be visible because there is no shimmer to distract the eye. This color is sensitive to layer thickness; if you apply it too heavily in one spot, the shade can appear darker than the surrounding panel.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Porsche Crayon (check for code M9A), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. You can find your specific code on a white sticker under the front hood on a 911 or 718, or in the spare tire area if you drive a Cayenne. If the sticker is missing, check the first page of your maintenance booklet. Always test the color on the included card to confirm the match before you touch the car. When you begin, keep the container moving to ensure the pigments lay down even. Work in the shade or a garage to prevent the sun from shortening the drying time, which can cause the paint to clump.

ensuring the right match

How to Find Your Porsche's Color Code

Porsche paint codes are often hard to find. They are usually near the spare tire area, printed on a paper color ID tag that may fall off with time. The owner's manual for some models sometimes lists paint codes. Porsche uses the same color across different models, and the same code may appear under different color names. Codes can be four characters starting with L or three characters, using letters and numbers.

Will absolutely order from this company again.

After ordering touch-up paint from Lexus I was still waiting for it a month later. If they'd told me upfront it would take that long I wouldn't have ordered in the first place. Paint Scratch was recommended by a friend who restores cars. Easy ordering, fair price and fast shipping. The color match is great especially considering my car is a 2012. Will absolutely order from this company again. Reason I chose this business: Lexus collision repair and a local collision repair. Will use paint less dent removal and touch up chipped paint myself. Reason I chose this product: Spouse sideswiped passenger side of car while backing out of garage. Mostly plastic transfer from his wheel well trim but pressure creased and cracked the paint causing a bare strip 1/8 wide x 4" long below door handle. Scratches on door handle and a few small chips on both doors.

Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans

Used Paint Scratch metallic custom mixed spray cans paint on a hood panel with excellent coverage and texture over the surface. Metallic paint can be very unforgiving out of a spray can, sputtering pigmentation dots on the panel being sprayed and thus ruining the paint job. No such issues with Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint spray cans. Paint sprayed strong and evenly till the last drop of paint in the can. Shipping time was faster than expected. Reason I chose this business: Having tried other brands of custom mixed metallic paint with terrible results, sputtering pigmentation tint dots from the spray nozzle in spite of vigorously shaking of can prior to application and loss of propellant rendering the lower fifth of the can's paint useless, Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint sprays out beautifully and strong all the way to the last gram of paint in the can. Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans for automotive restoration. Thank you Paint Scratch.
