Default Need Source for PTS Touch Up Paint

I have a GT3 Touring in Brewster Green, paint code 22B. Not having any luck finding a source for touch up paint. Local dealer couldn't come up with a source.

I just keyed your paint information into Dr Colorchip and the site didn't reject it. Might try them if you have not already tried that route.

Dr. ColorChip did take my order initially as well, but came back a few days later and said they could not provide the paint. Another paint source has declined as well after accusing me of providing the wrong paint code. After showing them an image of the factory provided label, they backed out as well.

Wow, I didn’t know that even dealers couldn’t provide touch up paint for PTS cars. Makes it sting less that my dealer couldn’t provide me with a PTS allocation.

For the price of PTS, you'd think Porsche would throw in a few bottles for free.

Or at least provide the option to buy some at exorbitant rates.

Have a high-end paint shop in your area make you some? Give them your tow plug, if they need your color target for a couple days.

Surprised that your dealer doesn't have a relationship with a body shop that can do it for you?

When I was building a PTS/LTS car last year my dealer got a few sprayouts done for free as PCNA didn't have the color and wanted to compare it to LTS samples.

This is for BMW Brewster Green, but I’ve bought Voodoo Blue from him and it was perfect. You may want to message him...

Interesting. One way I've been able to get PTS paint for touch-up from them is find a prior gen model where the paint was offered as factory/stock color, and then I looked specifically for that model (showed up under the drop down menu even for that specific generation but not for others). Has Brewster green been a 'factory' color on a prior gen Porsche (930/964/993-6-7)?

It has the correct code and looks like dark green which I guess is a good sign.
