Default Paint code help

Hello I am new to the forum however I do not own a 993. The Turbo S is my dream car. I am looking for the paint codes for OEM Twists and red calipers. I am trying to make my white Corrado look like a white 993 Turbo S haha.

For your red calipers go to G2 Caliper Paint web site and buy their red paint..... https://www.g2usa.com/

Wurth makes a good match for the wheel paint.

I am having the wheels powder coated and need to give the shop a paint code.

As far as I know in 18 years here no one has ever come up with a Porsche factory paint code for the 993 metallic silver wheels - in my case the TT 18” - this has been discussed a lot over the years with your question being asked.

The Wurth silver wheel paint in aerosol is pretty much dead nuts though. Not sure this helps your paint shop.

My 997 C4S has Big Reds. I had a couple of tiny chips by the bleeder valves and used Porsche factory touchup paint - Guards Red - to hide the chips. It is an exact match. You should be able to get a code for this color easily.

If you want to match the Turbo S you need yellow calipers, not red. Red is reserved for the 911 Turbo or the "turbo-look" cars.

Good luck!



My '97 "regular" 911 Turbo.
