Smile Pantone code for white gold metallic accent colors

Hi,
I found this tread on google and was trying to find the same information. I was wondering if you could share the codes with me as well. I have a 2010 GT3 RS grey with red accents that I want to paint the white gold metallic option. Thanks for your help.

Pantone 511 is a purple, not a gold.

Default White Gold Metallic

Is it possible to just but the accent paint from Porsche directly?
It seems the Pantone numbers are hard to find for this accent color...

Peter they don't match what you are trying to do. I've tried and the gold is off two tones of color! Porsche had the material matched in Germany. TWC

Just to be clear, Pantone is a color matching company that is used primarily in the Graphic Arts industry, and not so much in the Automotive industry. The numbering system that Pantone comes up with, is there system, and not a universal standard color system. I am sure that if you really needed the Pantone numbers, buy the color guides, and start matching it up to the actual paint on the car.

A member here had his wheels redone and they look perfect. The painter used one of his wing tips to match the paint. His was OEM gold.

Shop that organized this was BBI Autosport in huntington beach, the painter they use is an **** sob with a really good eye. Worth a call.

Did anyone ever figure out what Pantone is the closest to 84A Guards Red?
