Does anyone happen to know what the paint code for the Aurum wheels is?
Thanks.
There are several threads quoting that color as 'Aurum Gold' but I believe that is just the German word for white gold. From the Porsche configurator: "Wheels painted in satin White Gold Metallic". That paint code comes up as 539. You would specify porsche paint code 539 White Gold Metallic in Satin finish to your body shop.

Built as an homage to the Type 64 "Otto Mathe" Berlin-Rome car and the 930 Turbo - 991 Gt2 RS painted in Ice Green Metallic... The specification was inspired by the color of the Type 64 "Otto Mathe" Berlin-Rome car that was raced by Otto Mathe successfully in Alpine Races (#3 is still alive) - at it's time the color did not have any name/code. Another inspiration was a 930 Turbo. Ice Green Metallic is a 911 G color and it was the launch color for the 930 Turbo in Australia - as shown on the 1975 Australian Motor Show (1st 930 imported to Australia and #16 of all 930's produced was painted in Ice Green Metallic)....
I sent the paint shop both Auratium codes to create samples for me.
I had no idea same name colors may have two different codes ... for example Olive seems to have stayed 274 even though it still looks very different from back then to now.
Great pic, I wonder where would Signal come in between these two. Of course is paler (pastel'ier) than Viper, but would it be darker or lighter than Pure? What are your thoughts...
Signal is a noticeable lighter tone than Pure, and way pale in comparison. I’ll try to take a side by side pictures at the upcoming DRT event.

So ... I did some more research. Yes, the White Gold color code 539 is lighter and quite a bit different than Aurum Gold Satin. I found this reference for Aurum Gold paint code: LM1R, M1R, U8 Aurum Metallic, specify Satin Finish. Hope that helps.

In case any PTS afficiandos are shopping for a Golf R like me, I went to the dealer to see the book to see how close Reseda Green was to Auratium Green. It’s pretty close, a bit lighter and more yellow. Probably very close to Olive Green. Also, the VW Spektrum colors overall are great. Porsche, if you are listening, this is the path forward. Offer true PTS at staggering prices if you must, but 40 historic colors at a reasonable premium will satisfy a lot of the PTS market.
Just out of curiosity, how inclusive do you guys think the current list is? i.e. What percentage of worldwide PTS GT cars do you think it captures?
**Edit: Compared to the GT3 production stat sheet which indicates there are 459 PTS North American cars, the current PTS list has 194 cars. So I'm going to venture a guess and say the PTS list captures perhaps a quarter of the total PTS GT cars? It could be higher if PTS is more prevalent in North America than in other markets.

With serious OCD efforts, I have about 2/3rds of NA PTS Tourings. I have 111 and there were 147 built as of 2/1/19. When production is complete, I will back fill mine into Montoya’s list which should add a few dozen more.
