COLOR CODEM1W/D5 - Jarama Beige MetallicPorsche Touch-Up Paint

The Look

Jarama Beige Metallic is a sophisticated champagne tone that defined a brief window of Porsche luxury. While it is a frequent sight on the first-generation Cayenne, finding this color on a 911 or Boxster from that era marks a car for enthusiasts who prefer stealth over flash. It is a practical color because it hides road dust and light dirt. However, because your car has been on the road since 2004, the original finish has seen years of sun and weather. You should expect the original panels to have a different glow than the fresh paint in your hand.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, which means it relies on tiny suspended flakes to catch the light and create depth. The risk with metallics is mottling-the dark, cloudy spots or stripes that appear when the flakes do not lay down in a uniform pattern. Before you dab or spray Porsche Jarama Beige Metallic (verify code M1W/D5 on your vehicle), shake the container for at least 60 seconds. If those flakes stay at the bottom of the tube or can, your repair will look like a flat, muddy tan instead of a shimmering beige.

Best Practices

Find your paint code on a white paper sticker tucked under the front hood or near the spare tire well in the trunk. Once you confirm the match, test the color on the included card to see how the metallic particles settle. When applying the paint, keep the container moving and maintain a steady spray distance to ensure the finish remains uniform across the repair area. If you use a pen or brush, use light dabbing motions to build the color in thin layers. Allow for drying time between these layers to prevent the metallic flakes from shifting as the paint sets. Working in a cool garage or shade will give the paint the best environment to bond to your Porsche.
