A nail polish sized touch up paint container came with my car and it had the Porsche logo on the side, so it maybe a available from the local Porsche dealership.

paintscrath.com is great. They have pretty much all color codes as far back as you need in any type applictor. The pen works great for really small nicks. The small brush touch up really needs to be razor bladed and then use some 2 0r 3k grit paper to smooth it out. Just depends on how much you need to do. They have even 12 oz cans, quarts, and gallons if you are really serious. Send an email and they usually answer same day. No affiliation, I just highly recommend them

I just ordered from paintscratch and can confirm what smshirk said. I had a question and emailed them--they responded within hours, answered my questions.

no affiliation--just satisfied

paintscratch.com will supply any factory color you wish, for any car, in custom spray cans or, if you insist, nail-polish bottles. And if they don't get the shade right the first time, they'll try again. Highly recommended as an alternative to the cheap AutoZone "color-match" bottles. You want to touch up a Chevy, go to the Duplicolor rack. You want to fix your Porschie, call Paintscratch.

FWIW, I got a rattlecan of Paintscratch to match my 79 SC Metallic Silver. It's a pretty poor match. Used it in the trunk on original paint, so no sun fade damage.

Anyone have another source?

Frankly, any qualified auto paint shop can. That is, there seems to be no factory color they cannot reproduce, and if the car color has faded/changed, they can take a shot at matching that also. They also can put some in a rattle can. Or whatever you like.

www.TowerPaint.com has any factory color at a lower price than PaintScratch. Their spray can tips are also superior in spray uniformity and pattern. (They usually send extras)

They also have touch up brush/bottles, paint pens and custom matched colors.

The match they produce depends on the mixing sytem / paint brand they use.

Many (if not most) paint supply shops don't have the capability to package paint in spray cans.

I can vouch for Tower. Just got done with a door jamb project (rust repair) and I have silver metallic S7 / 936 paint code. I was doubting how well it would match but thought it was worth a try. Came out great ! Very good match ! Plus larger cans and cheaper than painscratch.com

Multona in the can works great...they have a large selection of original colors for most manufactures.
