COLOR CODEC5M/C7 - Moonlight Blue PearlPorsche Touch-Up Paint

The Look

This shade is for the owner who wants the gravity of black without the flat, one-dimensional finish. On a Cayenne, this color behaves like a chameleon. In the shade or under dim streetlights, the finish has enough depth that most people will swear your car is jet black. Once the sun hits the body lines, the deep navy pigments wake up and reveal a rich, oceanic glow. It is a sophisticated choice that hides road grime better than a true black, making it a favorite for those who actually drive their SUVs.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish with a heavy pearl influence. Because the base pigment is so dark and the metallic flakes are so fine, you have to be careful about how you build the color. If you apply it too thick in one spot, the heavy particles will sink and the repair will look like a dark, muddy smudge rather than a crisp blue. If you go too thin, the blue will lack the "inkiness" required to match your factory panels. It is all about finding the balance between the dark background and the light-catching flakes.

Best Practices

You can usually find your paint code on a white paper sticker tucked under the trunk carpet in the spare tire well, though Porsche often places a duplicate sticker inside the maintenance booklet in your glove box. Before you spray or dab Porsche Moonlight Blue Pearl (check for code C5M/C7), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. Those metallic flakes settle at the bottom of the container quickly, and if they aren't fully suspended, your repair will lack the signature shimmer. Test the color on the included card to confirm the shade matches your car's current state of aging. Apply the paint in light, thin layers and allow plenty of drying time between each pass. Keep the container moving to ensure the metallic particles lay down flat and even across the surface.
