Anyone find a close color match to do some chip touch up on the silver trim door handles. Thanks in advance.

 

artic silver code 92U

 

Definitely not arctic silver.
This is a response from Eric at bumperplugs when I inquired about some interior trim:

"The silver on the wheel is probably Galvano silver, not too easy to match. We use Crystal Silver Metallic to match most silver on the interior, and it is a dead match to the door release levers on the inside of each of your doors. If that works, we can proceed."

 

Porsche will not sell OEM interior touch up paint or wheel paint....they would you rather buy new bits.

 

I had some touchup stick (the paint that comes in little tubes with a brush inside) left from our 2006 Volvo XC70 which I used for a couple chips on the silver trim on the steering wheel spokes and it was pretty much an invisible repair. Not sure what the actual code was but you could look it up and get the pain from a Volvo dealer.

 

Eric at bumper plugs told me a few years back it was artic silver and I have plans to do my center console soon.

Maybe he can clarify

 

Thank you folks, I ordered a tiny bottle (.25oz) of Crystal Silver Metallic and will see how it works and post pictures. If it doesn't match I'll try the other color recommended. Until then....

 

I use silver sharpie with good results.

 

Hey - did you get a chance to try the Crystal Silver metallic?

 

Really sorry, I posted pics but I can't find the thread I did it too. Here is a before and after. I think the color is slightly wrong. It worked out well enough for now. It no longer is something I notice when I get in the car.

 

gotcha - THANKS.

My scuffing is much worse... I think I'll try to determine the exact match.

 

you can use those silvers but you need to put some gloss clear over it. it will match alot better

 

or remove altogether, prep and respray. Good winter project.

 

On that note, anyone know what color the silver is on the sports seats? I could be wrong, but it looks to have a little more metallic flake and maybe one or two shades darker than the the normal trim pieces. I have a few chips I'd love to make disappear.

 

Guys, just use the silver ink sharpies from Walmart to touch up your silver trim. My door handle had some "ring scratches" left by the previous owner and now you can't see them unless you really focus your eyes to the spot. You can't beat the simplicity of buying a sharpie that matches better than the picture above. The silver is close to 99% match. Forget the paint codes.
