They all use their in-house brand of paint (Dupont, PPG, Sherwin Williams, etc.) and rely on "blending" to cover up the slight mismatch. After much research, I found one shop that knew the OEM brand that Porsche uses is from Glasurit. It's available from English Color and Supply. It's not cheap, but believe me, it's worth it.
Thanks for sharing. Add some photos of the installed, color matched covers on your car - our community would love to see how they look.
