COLOR CODE0B5 - Platinum Satin MattPorsche Touch-Up Paint

The Look

This is the stealth fighter of the Porsche wheel world. While most colors try to scream for attention, this finish is a masterclass in restraint. It defined the high-performance look of the 2017 911, offering a sophisticated, industrial aesthetic that hides brake dust while looking significantly more expensive than standard silver. It is a deep, complex grey that occasionally reveals a faint hint of bronze under the right light. If your wheels look like they have a silky, non-reflective glow rather than a mirror shine, this is the exact match you are looking for.

Technical Details

You are dealing with a metallic finish, which means there are tiny flakes of aluminum or mica suspended in the liquid. These flakes are heavy and love to sink to the bottom of the container. If they are not perfectly distributed, you will end up with mottling-those ugly dark splotches or stripes where the metal gathered in one spot. Because this is a "Satin Matt" finish, the texture is just as important as the color. If you apply it too heavily or too close, it will appear too glossy. If you apply it too lightly, it can look chalky. The goal is a consistent, even sheen that matches the rest of the wheel.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Porsche Platinum Satin Matt (check for code 0B5), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. This is non-negotiable for metallics to ensure those flakes are swimming evenly in the mix. You can usually find your paint code on a white paper sticker located under the front trunk lid or tucked inside the maintenance booklet in your glove box. Always test the color on the included card to get a feel for how the metallic flakes lay down before moving to the car. To keep the finish consistent, keep the container moving in steady, overlapping passes and work in a cool Garage or a spot of Shade. Avoid the sun, as a hot surface will cause the paint to dry before the flakes can settle into a smooth, satin plane.
