I don't know if that is a shade of silver or the brand "Wurth" which I have read on a forum makes a high quality wheel spray paint in the correct color for Porsche wheels.

Wurth silver is the way to go. I've done curb repairs on one of my sets and it's the perfect match.

Ok, I'll bite. Do you know what color is used for the interior trim? I'm particularly interested in the door pulls and the trunk/lid release levers on the MK1 996.

Thanks.

Frisbee, I've just repainted my centre console and frunk & boot levers which were arctic silver from the factory, my car is arctic silver, all of the interior silver appears to be the same color.
