Porsche Paint to Sample
After so many years of request by customers, Porsche finally put together a proper catalog of their approved 'out of range' colours.
That the link to the online webpage listing the currently certified PTS colours. Selectable via the custom colour option.
If one wants a more custom colour, it will be selectable by clicking the custom colour by sample checkbox. Where for basically double the option price, Porsche will test and validate the colour to see if it's usable on their cars.
A more transparent process than what was before. Up until now, Porsche will take PTS requests, and check their 'secret' database of 'approved' 'pre-tested' colours and then make a decision to see if they will accept the order.
The new finally completely state of the art paint shop helps immensely. In the old days PTS cars are mostly hand painted, hence the limit of about 5 cars a day. Now with the automated paint shop they can do up to 20 a day for colours can came from the approved list, which at current count is 105, on top of whatever standard offerings each model range is launched with.
