IN general (at least it used to be), a factory paint job is far superior to anything a shop can put on...even if they use factory colors or event the factory brand. The reasons, the application, process and environment.
At the factory a car is painted "electrostatically". Basically the car has one electrical charge on it and the paint has the opposite charge, positive and negative. they naturally want to cling to each other. All the little charged mist drops be-line for the car and collect everywhere, absolutely every nook and cranny. More importantly thow, the paint is applied perfectly evenly on the outer surfaces.
In addition, most factories bake the paint on (not sure if for durability or speed, probably both).
As for some magic in Porsche paint, I suspect they might do it with a little more care but the paint itself comes from any one of a handful off German vendors. I suspect your affection is just like a mother for her baby. Kid could be the ugliest rash covered beast and she would still just gloat about hoew bbbbbeautiful it is.
