Default phone dial wheel question

does any one know what the specs are for the finish of the factory wheel (phones)?

I thought they were lacquer with a clear on top.

If I am right does anyone know the paint code for the color? I know p- usually does not release the codes for the colors for the wheels.

The color code for the phone dial is L980 Porsche didn't use enamel on their wheels ,they used Urethane , if you go with the Paragon paint they should come out like these ,those were done by a fellow P owner from pelican.

I have used the Wurth on many occasions and it match perfectly. Be sure to prep the wheels well and spray them properly for lasting results.

I'm doing the same thing (using PPG for a wheel refinishing)... Any confirmation about the paint code being L980?

Thanks!
Robert
