997.2 GT3 wheel colour and finish.
Discussion
I've managed to scuff a rear wheel on the low steel upstand of a Eurotunnel carriage!!!
Popped into Porsche to enquire about having it repaired. They said no problem, we have a company we use who strip the wheel back to bare aluminium and then powder coat.
I asked if powder coating was the OEM finish and they didn't directly respond. Only saying they've used them for a few years. Aren't the wheels painted not powder coated from the factory?
Does anyone know the colour code for the standard centre lock wheel?
Thanks.

The wheels are painted and there were two options - silver or a titanium colour. I believe that most came with the titanium finish and although I have tried both Porsche in the UK and in Germany have been unable to obtain any paint for touching up scuffs etc
A good painter should be able to match the colour for you but if you have the titanium colour and want to touch up any small marks yourself you could try making your own using Porsche Titan Metallic D72 plus a bit of Arctic Silver 92T
I'd assumed it was silver but Chrs thought titanium? Suppose I should check with my OPC.

Sorry to hear that...amazing how narrow the channel ( or how wide cars have become).. how we all remember every scuffed wheel almost for ever, best plan is to get it fixed soonest so the evidence is no longer there.
