Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

My car is coming out of the body shop with the new aerokit, I love the new aggressive look.
On the color tint, I am a bit upset they did not match the old paint tint. they simply painted with the factory color. Now, the new parts are more grey than the rest of my car that has a 'yellow/grennishh' tint to it.
So I wonder if it is my paint that has gotten that old style tint or if they painted a different kind of grey.
The code under the hood is L23F and they told me they painted 23F. I wonder what is the proper color code for my slate grey car ?
I know there are many dark grey at porsche: slate grey, atlas grey, ect...
Any help on the exact color code for my 2003 slate grey would help relive my OCD
Looks great! Do any of your original panels have a clear bra? The metal flakes look better on the new paint. It would be difficult to match a nearly 10 year old paint to a new one, don't you thnk? I think you'll be fine.
yeah I am just trying to figure out what is the color paint based on the sticker and if the 23F is the right one.
Really from farther away than 2 feet you can't really tell the difference. But sometime I get a little obsessive
The original clear coat sometimes fades or yellows. It is a problem (not saying that is what happened in your case). It would have been better if they blended up the paint and then re-cleared the entire car. However, that cost much more....
For slate grey, 23F is correct for water based and 22D is for conventional paint. Both are metallic. +1 on the comment that blending may be needed to really match an older paint. Car looks great nevertheless.
the only way they will ever match is if they do a blend where they spray onto the next panel to blend the color then clear all the painted areas. BUT before you get that far, look at this video and check out what a good detal can do to make you paint look like new again.
go to 12:49 to check out the diffrence in the part detailed compaired to the part not delailed. it will look like your new painted aero kit to the rest of your car.
You Tube
the shop told me they would do a full body detail of the car and polish it up to have the paint blend in more.
But I thought there is no way any kind of detailing would make those two color match as one.
May be I am wrong about that... so may be I'll go back to them and take them on their word.
At this time, they did not polish the whole car.
Looks awesome Phil! Welcome to the aero club!
It's hard to see the color match differences in the photos, but one thing to bear in mind is that it's often hard to get a good match when you're painting different substrates that are on adjacent panels - there will always be a slight mismatch - The best way to get a match is to do what Marc said and blend the adjacent panels.
Let us know if that actually works - my car has been reshot from keying at some point of its life and the color is "off" a bit as well. I'm not sure if it's because the paints are aging differently or what
