COLOR CODEK5J - Frozen Blue MetallicPorsche Touch-Up Paint

The Look

This color arrived alongside the electric revolution, serving as a signature launch shade for the Taycan. It captures a high-tech, icy aesthetic that looks just as current on the Cayenne or Macan. While it feels like a piece of the Mission E concept car brought to life, it is a lighter and more subtle blue than the deep tones found elsewhere in the Porsche catalog. Since your car likely serves as a daily driver, this finish is practical because it masks road salt and light dust better than a darker navy or black.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, which means it contains a high concentration of fine aluminum flakes to create its signature shimmer. The challenge here is the way those flakes settle. If you apply the paint too heavily in one spot, the metallic particles can cluster together and create dark, patchy areas known as mottling. To keep the finish looking even across the repair area, you must apply light layers. This ensures the flakes lay flat and reflect light in the same direction, preserving that crisp, frosted effect without looking like a series of stripes.

Best Practices

You can find the identification sticker for your car inside the driver's side door jamb or tucked under the carpet in the front luggage compartment. Before you spray or dab Porsche Frozen Blue Metallic (check for code K5J), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. This is the only way to get those metallic flakes off the bottom of the container and into the pigment. Test the color on the included card to confirm the match and get a feel for the flow. When you move to the car, keep the container moving to ensure an even distribution. Give each layer enough drying time so the surface is no longer tacky before you add more paint.
