What color is the rear logo ?

[Tom N]

Does anyone know what color paint is used on the more or less silver color rear logo "Carrera 4S" on a 997.2 Artic Silver car ?

It is a sort of matte finish, perhaps titainium in color, similar or the same as the front grill vent vanes.

TIA

Porsche calls it "mat chrome" on the C4S.

On a C4 and Carrera (and Targa) they use "lacquered titanium"

Loren,

Thanks! Any idea where I could get a close match on a can of spray paint to paint a license plate frame? I don't want to invest in a perfect match body shop paint job.

Great forum for technical information.

Porsche does not sell trim paint so I would just take it to body/paint shop and ask them what they would use.

The bad news is you might have to buy enough to paint a few hundred.

or

Try Eric at BumperPlugs.com - his folks can match most Porsche colors once he has a sample.

Some people paint it the same as the car. The cost

of the name badge is about $25.00. It

is only glued on to the back lid.

Youy can experiment for the small cost.

Thanks for the responses.

I am fine with the color of the logo. I found a can of spray paint in a matte silver at AutoZone and painted my license plate frame, and it is a very close match to the logo. I have always used a simple plate frame, but neither the gloss black or chrome frames available looked right on the back of the 997.2 C4S.

So I solved my issue as I trim out my new street car by painting an old frame and screw covers to match the logo color.

My GT3 has the overpriced "paint logo to match" option, which I have never really cared for. But it came with the pre-owned car.
