Once you've added custom color paint to your cart, you will need clearcoat and (depending on your damage) other non-paint products to complete your repair.

Your Paint Color Profile

8C6/M2 - Orange

The Look

This shade is a nod to the racing heritage of the 1970s. It served as the face of the 911 GT3 RS and the Cayman R during the 2011 production run. This orange defines that era of Porsche performance. Since your car has spent a decade on the road, the original paint has likely faced significant sun exposure. This color is bold, and a tiny chip stands out against the bright panels.

Technical Details

This is a solid finish. There is no metallic flake or pearl to hide mistakes. Solid colors offer a deep appearance, but they are unforgiving to work with. If you apply the paint too thick, you will see a ridge where the repair meets the original surface. You want a flat surface to maintain that factory look. Success depends on patience and thin layers rather than a single heavy coat.

Best Practices

You can find your paint code on a white sticker under the front hood or inside the first page of your maintenance booklet. Before you spray or dab Porsche Orange (check for code 8C6/M2), you need to shake it for 60 seconds to ensure the pigments are mixed. Work in your garage or in the shade to keep the metal cool to the touch. Test the color on the included card to check the match against your specific panels. When applying, keep the container moving to prevent pooling. Give the area plenty of drying time before you move to a second coat or a clear finish.

ensuring the right match

Find your Porsche paint 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.
