Our sources list Acid Green on the 911 (991) (2013, standard color), Panamera (G3) (2026, standard color) and Taycan (2026, standard color). If you see it on a model or year not listed, it may be a Paint to Sample order or a respray — the build sheet for the VIN shows which.
Is Acid Green a Paint to Sample color?
Our sources list Acid Green as a standard color rather than Paint to Sample. Porsche's Paint to Sample program can still apply many past colors to new cars, so a recent car in Acid Green may be a PTS order.
How can I tell if a Porsche is factory Acid Green?
Read the paint code on the option sticker (in the maintenance booklet and, on most models, in the front luggage compartment) or on a build sheet for the VIN, and compare it with 2M8. A matching color name alone does not rule out a respray or wrap.
