Arctic Silver L92U paint help
Does anyone have recent spectro-photometer readings/measurements of original L92U Arctic Silver paint? Preferable on the larger areas exposed to "sun-bleach" such as front hood. Reason I'm asking is since someone scratched my door long time back, a "visual" perfect match can't be had at all and any spectral measuring instruments are unavailble here. Or if anyone have had recent paintwork with such readings, can your painter supply all details?
Another detail is what base was used in the re-paint.

This appears to be the correct mix for Arctic Silver L92U (courtesy Eric - Plug guy), but does anyone know what company makes this? Sikkens do not - they seem to have different names for their components - maybe why their paint do not match...?

When I was trying to get Polar Silver matched, I read a lot about factory paint sources in different threads. I seem to remember Glasurit being the prime supplier for the paint. You might want to try them.
Locally when I tried to get it matched, there is only a Sikkens dealer here and the painter I was working with found a visually close match, but it was a color not even in Porsche's line.
