Your Paint Color Profile

M2A/H2 - Lava Orange

The Look

Lava Orange isn't just a color; it is a statement of intent. Since it debuted as the hero shade for the 991 GT3 RS, this high-energy hue has defined the modern era of the 911 and Cayman. Whether it is on your Boxster or your Cayenne, this color carries the weight of Porsche racing heritage. It is loud and aggressive, shifting from a bright tangerine in direct sun to a deep, moody ember as the day ends. Because your car has been on the road for a few years, you might notice the original finish has a depth that demands a patient approach to matching.

Technical Details

This is a solid gloss finish, which is excellent news for your repair. Because there are no metallic flakes or pearls to worry about, you will not have to deal with the finish looking darker from one angle or lighter from another. However, bright oranges are naturally more transparent than whites or blacks. This means the color relies on the layers beneath it to pop. If you apply the paint too thin, the repair will look dull. Solid colors like this also show every swirl mark and scratch, so your surface preparation is the most important part of the job.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Porsche Lava Orange (check for code M2A/H2), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. You can find your specific code on a white sticker under the front hood, inside the spare tire well, or tucked into the first few pages of your maintenance booklet. Test the color on the included card to confirm it matches your car's current condition before you touch the actual bodywork. When you begin the repair, keep the container moving to ensure an even coat and avoid pooling. Give the paint plenty of drying time between layers so the color builds up properly.

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.
