Hello,

About a week ago I received the instrument bezel overlays for my P 996. To my horror they have not been painted at all. They are a set of 5 aluminium rings. They do fit, but the colour does not match with the other alloy accessories at all.

So, there is only one solution. I will have to spray-paint them myself. To make these rings look really good I want to spray them in exactly the same colour as the rest of the alloy parts of the interior. Does anyone know the colour code Porsche used for these components (e.g. the handbrake, the gearstick, etc.)?

There is no specific paint code but the closest I have found to match the "aluminum look" interior parts is arctic silver.

The downside to painting is that the parts should be primed and painted, then clear coated. A lot of work and lot that can go wrong.

BTW, have you considered polishing the rings with very fine steel wool (ie: 0000) to give it a closer finish? I did it this way and found it to look quite good.
