Default Gray underbody paint code?

The underside of my 97 arena red has a gray paint (covered in various coatings and oversprays in different areas) in and around the engine compartment area. It has a slight yellow tinge to it as compared to the blue you find in most over the counter sprays. Is anyone aware of a colour code or a spray can availability for a small touch up. Thanks for any help. Doug

I am not sure if we are speaking about the same thing, but that grey sure looks a lot like standard grey primer that is commercially used by auto body shops.

It appears like there are 2 colors ( one beige and one grey) and they seem to have different textures too.

Was the car at a body shop for repairs at any point that you are aware of?

The whole car is apparently dipped in this gray sealer at the factory so it is under everything. It does have the appearance of a paint and just wondering if anyone has ever matched a colour code to it or found a pre manufactured spray bomb that matched.

You might want to look at Wurth underbody seal. It's available in a spray can in either grey or black. I have read in some threads either here or on the Pelican Parts forums that Wurth was the (or at least a) supplier of the undercoating material used by Porsche.
