Hi Rod
I don't have the exact paint code for the 991 GT3 wheels, but I and few other GT3 onwers have been using the Titanium Metallic...D7Z as a touch up pain for our GT3 wheels and it appears to be identical match. I also used it to touch up my GT4 wheels as well and it also appears to be close match. Hope this helps. Mark

Had been discussed somewhere on the GT3 forum I believe, plus here for the "Platinum Satin" color which is the same I believe.

No, Platinum Satin is the name for GT3 and GT4 wheels.

Code is Ob5. Read this thread for the actual mix ratios. For some reason, Porsche guards the Platinum Satin mix like the nuclear launch codes. But our crack team of RLers got their hands on it.

But I ultimately went another direction and painted mine lighter GT Silver, with a Satin clear coat.

Love that color. Very close to the Ti Package Audi RS4 wheels.

It was another Rennlist member & a friend "Mike In CA" who sent me this code and shared it on the GT3 forum, while bunch of us GT3 owners were scrambling to find the paint code to touch up our GT3 wheels. For some reason the GT3 wheels have been plagued with excessive chips after only few miles of driving the car on both the street & track. Few of us lodged a complaint to PCNA to document the issue, but unfortunately nothing has come out of it.
I have personally asked the parts department at Sunset Porsche for the code and also emailed PCNA but could not get a response, and so did many other owners, so Mike was kind enough to send us the touch up code and it worked. It was a very very close match, and every few months I keep using it to touch up more chips. At some point, I will repaint the wheels again using the same color. I really love the color. Mark

You are very welcome. Mark

As others stated, the platinum Satin is indeed the color of the GT3 wheels. We just had a trouble getting a color code for it though, but another Rennlist member gave us the color code I listed and it did match the wheel color perfectly. This of course was right after I purchased the car back in December 2013, and it is possible since the color was very new, it explains why we had trouble getting the code for it, and this may have changed by now, but since it matched perfectly I am still using this color code, to touch up my wheels, and it works great. You won't go wrong if you use it unless someone else can provide you with the actual code for the platinum Satin. Mark
