Frequently asked questions

What is the paint code for Porsche Agate Grey Metallic?

Which Porsche models and years came in Agate Grey Metallic?

Is Agate Grey Metallic a Paint to Sample color?

Our sources list Agate Grey Metallic as a standard color and limited edition only 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 Agate Grey Metallic may be a PTS order.

How can I tell if a Porsche is factory Agate Grey Metallic?

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 M7S. A matching color name alone does not rule out a respray or wrap.
