I am considering purchasing a 2003 Boxster with the sport design package. Some interior parts (seat backs, door arm rests, center console, roll bars) are painted in this weird speckled silver color, and there are quite a few scratches in the painted parts. These scratches make the interior appear to be more worn than it really is. Does anyone know if this paint is available in a spray can for a reasonable cost? It doesn't look like something that can be matched at the local auto parts store. Thanks.

Mike:

If you can't find an exact match in a spray can (maybe by Wurth), you can take one of the parts (like the door pocket lid) to the local Auto Paint Store and they can mix up an exact match.

If you don't have a spray gun, the auto paint store can even put that mix into a spray can for you. It's still relatively inexpensive that way.

Regards, Maurice.

Look up Eric

over on PPBB.COM. He can match any paint you have and knows all the codes and tricks. Granted you mail the part to NC but its better to have it done right.
