How to find your Porsche Paint Code?
Porsche color paint codes are located on the Porsche label or sticker. You may be able to find the label in the center of the hood or in the front storage compartment (you may need to remove the carpet). For the Cayenne and the Panamera models, the paint color code is in the spare tire compartment. It can also come in the same bag with the front license plate. A duplicate of the label containing Porsche”™s paint color code can be found on the first page of the owner's manual. In any case, the paint color code is mostly four characters long starting with an “L” or three characters long. They contain both numbers and letters. -----I copied this from a website so may not be worth using.Dark Blue Metallic is code M5X or other places M5X/N4 I believe you only need the first 3 letters. Good luck since you have no spare tire., hah.
I had vin report at one time that listed it but cannot find it right now. I will look in the car later to see where listed. Either gas cap flap or driver door might have had it listed.
You can also check various touchup paint websites and they are really good at listing by year and paint description ie Dark Blue Metallic
