COLOR CODE2D1/7L - Peridot MetallicPorsche Touch-Up Paint

The Look

You didn't choose a car in this shade to blend into the background. Whether it is highlighting the curves of your 911 or giving your Cayenne an aggressive edge, this electric yellowish-green demands attention. Originally famous as the launch color for the Cayman R, it carries a racing pedigree that makes your Boxster or Cayman feel fast even when it is parked in your driveway. It is a loud, unapologetic color that captures the spirit of the track with a unique golden glow that shifts as the sun hits the bodywork.

Technical Details

This is a complex metallic finish packed with fine flakes that provide its signature depth. Because of that high metallic content, the biggest risk during a repair is mottling, which occurs when the flakes settle unevenly and create dark patches or "tiger stripes." Since your Porsche has likely seen some sun, the golden undertones in the paint are what give it that lime-like vibrance. To keep the finish uniform, you must avoid heavy applications that might cause the paint to sag or the flakes to clump together.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Porsche Peridot Metallic (check for code 2D1/7L), you need to shake the container for at least sixty seconds to ensure the metallic particles are fully suspended. You can typically find your paint code on a white sticker located under the front trunk lid or inside the driver-side door jamb. Always test the color on the included card to verify the match against your specific model before touching the car. When you begin, keep the container moving at a steady pace to ensure the flakes lay down flat. Provide ample drying time between each light layer to build the color safely and prevent the finish from becoming muddy.
