Ok, well first you'll need your paint code. It's on the sticker under the hood and also on the drivers side fender liner under the trunk mat.. however, you said 1997 Polar Silver. Polar Silver wasn't offered in 1997, Arctic Silver was though .. Polar was a '95/96 color .. so you'll have to figure that out first.
I've had luck with these folks but again, you'll need your accurate paint code first:

Here's another popular place. You'll see there a few examples and numbers for several colors, that's why you need your exact paint code.

The code for Polar silver (I have a 95) 911 095 933 20 92E.
Artic silver is is 911 095 933 20 92T and I have a Original Touch up Pencil Kit if anyone wants it. I ordered the wrong color and now have to find the Polar Silver kit.

My experience with Dr. Colorchip is mixed. It works well for very small chips, the fine peppering that you get on a front bumper. On larger chips though, say 1/8" or bigger, it's harder to get the divot filled. For those I use the factory paint, reduce it approximately 50/50 with thinner, and then use a good fine tipped paint brush purchased at Micheal's or an artist's store.
Another trick is to use a toothpick, dip it in the factory paint and then touch it to the center of the chip, allowing just enough paint to flow into the divot to fill it up but not leave a bump. Don't try using the brush that comes with the factory bottle, it's just about useless.

I ordered a touch up "kit" from Porsche for my 96 Midnight Blue Metallic TT, which iirc came with a small bottle of color paint AND a bottle of clear coat.
How does the clear figure in to the methods described above or with Lanka?
