Hi all,

I have a new (to me) 2005 997.1S in Midnight Blue with Sea Blue interior. The centre console is a bit worn and I want to paint it the same colour as the face plate of the radio/climate control unit. Parts of the steering wheel are also this colour. I have light silver door handles but the radio plate colour looks a bit more bronze to me. Eric at Bumper Plugs kindly responded to me that the colour is Volcano Grey Metallic - but looking at cars painted that colour I can't see it. Perhaps I need to eat more carrots. Does anyone know the colour? See pictures. The colour on the wheel is the part with the horn icon.
BTW, if anyone has a picture of their console in this colour please post.

Thanks.

Volcano Grey Metallic is not an exterior color. If you were loookimg at Meteor Grey Metallic, yes that's quit different.

Thanks for the help, but I think Volcano Grey Metallic could be an exterior colour. See this link:

My question was if anyone knows the colour of the interior plastic paint around my radio and climate control. It is also on the wheel where the horn icon is. There may have been various shades of silver used. Mine has a bronze hue for sure.

Thanks!

If that's the same color as your seat backs, Volcano is the right color, but not metallic. If so, do a search on "volcano", and you'll find someone who was selling small bottles of that paint color to touch up seat backs.

We can produce the rear console in exterior finish - would look stunning.

The finish used for the matte Volcano Grey of the interior pieces is NOT the same as the exterior Volcano that Porsche has offered recently.

you can always take a part to a auto paint supply store and have them match it

That link was to a 2017 Macan. It was not a standard 997 color.
