I started with Red (steel) brakes and Satin Black wheels and that is why I switched to PCCBs since while better than Gloss Black (I had those on a C7) they still show a lot of brake dust and rust from the rotors after they get wet. I would suggest an totally different solution: change your brake pads to Centric Posiquiets and leave your wheels alone.

My black CL’s were in horrible shape so I replaced them with the 997 Red ones maybe a year and one half ago or so.
No issues.

To my knowledge there is no PC formula for Porsche Platinum Satin. The dealer sent a wheel along to match to. If you search PC color charts you will find something close, in my case it was trial and error. That's why it took 3 weeks. If I were to do it over again I would find a company that specializes in wheels and send the wheels to them. In my case there were 3 company's involved.
