Your Paint Color Profile

M2Z/8W - Nordic Gold Metallic

The Look

Choosing a car in this shade means you appreciate the rare side of the brand. This color acted as the launch face for the 957-generation Cayenne GTS and the 997 Targa, serving as a modern spiritual successor to the gold tones of the early seventies. Because your car carries such a bold, copper-heavy glow, it demands attention even when it is covered in road salt or dust. While it hides light surface grime better than a flat black, the real magic happens when sunlight hits those orange undertones. If you are fixing a chip on your 911 or Boxster, you are working with a color that many owners never even saw in a showroom.

Technical Details

This is a complex metallic finish that relies on a specific balance of fine flakes to create its depth. Before you spray or dab Porsche Nordic Gold Metallic (check for code M2Z/8W), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. The metallic particles in this paint are heavy and like to settle at the bottom of the container. If you do not mix them thoroughly, the repair will look too dark or muddy compared to the rest of the panel. You also need to watch out for mottling. If the paint goes on too heavy in one spot, the flakes will bunch up and create dark "tiger stripes" that ruin the glow.

Best Practices

You can usually find your paint code on a white paper sticker located under the front trunk lid on a 911 or Boxster. If you are driving a Cayenne, look in the spare tire compartment or check the first page of your maintenance manual. When you are ready to begin, work in a cool garage or in the shade to prevent the paint from setting too fast. Always test the color on the included card to see how the metallic flakes lay down before touching the car. Whether you use a nozzle or a brush, keep the container moving to ensure an even distribution of the gold flake. Give each layer plenty of drying time so the metallic effect stays crisp and bright.

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.
