My center console is artic silver and so is the roll bar, I am pretty sure it was a porsche or dealer option, because it showed up in my option code. But the interior paint may be different from the exterior paint and you may not want to touch up the interior because, even if you buff the plastic you will be able to tell that it was touched up, because you will always be looking at it.

Just be glad you don't have the "Sport Design Package". Porsche does not have any touch-up for that. A couple of years ago a dealer (when it was in for service) scratched the finish off the shifter handle and had to order an replacement handle for it.

If anyone knows where this paint finish can be gotten please let me know. I have a few spots I would like to touch up

Silver door handles (and wheels) repaint success

I re-painted (actually touched up) my door handle, because of a scratch, with "Silberspray". It is a perfect match for the door handles and I've used it to touch up wheel scratches very successfully. Buy it on-line.
After spot spraying just the scratch on my door handle six months ago, I've never been able to notice the repair. I had originally bought the paint for my 2002 (worked great on those wheels) and now use it on my 2005. The spot repairs blend right in so I didn't feel the need to respray the whole part.

Hey TLC,
What is ‘Silberspray’? Not finding it with a web search. Is that the brand name, the color, or what? Where ‘on-line’ did you buy it?
Thanks.
Andrew.
