Default PANTONE code for interior Blue

Hi all,
I would like to repaint some interior plastic parts that have some marks.

Do someone know what is the Pantone or RAL equivalent code of the Sea Blue color?

I have a 2005 997.1 cab.

Thanks

Porsche does not publish interior paint codes. People have some close matches for a few colors such as the galvano silver (bumperplugs) or beige (home depot paint, search for the thread), but I don't think the blue has been matched or at least not published here. you could try your luck pulling the ashtray and bringing it to a paint store for color matching or an autobody shop. Realistically expect it to be close at best, not a perfect mtach.

Try Adobe Kuler, which is free. It will get you pretty close if you take a good picture of it, but you might need to take a look at the values it gives you and determine by eye which is best. I use this tool for design work once in a while.

all body and interior shops use SEM or dupont leather and vinyl color to refinish interior parts. take a part to a auto paint store and they match it for you. You will have the spray the material. Use sem prep solution or you can strip the parts with acetone, depends on how bad it is.

Hi all,
I will take the part to the local color shop to try to match it.

I was hoping that someone else has already matched the color with a Pantone or RAL equivalent.

If I succeed with a match, will write here the result.

I took my ashtray in to Home Depot and they made me up a half pint of Behr no-primer-needed-for-plastic matte paint that matched my sand beige interior perfectly. I don't see why they couldn't do it with blue.

Definitely you want to strip the old paint off if you can, or at least sand it, because if you paint over the soft, deteriorated OEM finish, the new paint will be just as fragile and easy to peel as the old one.
