Kuhl997.2!

Any one know the arktissibermetallic silver paint code for a 07 Boxster? I also own a 10 Carrera that too is Arctic silver, paint code L92u but they are not quite the same tone. I have looked everywhere for something in the car. The car only has 25K and has not been painted. Thanks good people

Rennbow suggests color codes X1, 92T, and 92U for Arctic Silver, with no description given as to what the differences might be.

So, my doorjamb sticker says 92U... my certificate of authenticity says X1... clear as mud, right?

I think my friend, who was helping me with touch up, got the 92U and the bottle we received was clearly not a match. Not sure the source or details, just that it clearly was not a match.

We did end up acquiring a bottle of X1 and it's perfect. Mine is '05 Boxster S.

My 2010 Carrera is L92U and X1 both on the Porsche certificate and on the cars build sticker. Likely not correct but I think the L stands for lighter per Glazuit which looking at the two next to each my Carrera is definitely a little lighter whiter than my wife’s new 07.

Great, I just ordered a touch up kit and used the door sticker that was by the tire pressure. It said 92u. Will let you know what happens.

Sometimes the the paint used on metal panels is slightly different from that used on plastic bits (bumpers, moldings, etc) so they appear the same once painted.

I ordered the Arctic Silver OEM touch-up paint through Suncoast's website and it was a perfect match for some small spots at the front of the hood: https://www.suncoastparts.com/product/TOUCHUP.html

Was way to dark. Ordered the x1 and will see.

The paint codes are usually on the fuel door. Did you check there?
