Frequently asked questions
What is the paint code for Porsche Iris Blue Metallic?
Iris Blue Metallic has carried Porsche paint codes 39V (993 era); 39N (alternate code). Porsche reuses names across eras with different codes, so match the code on the car's option sticker or build sheet rather than the name alone.
Which Porsche models and years came in Iris Blue Metallic?
Our sources list Iris Blue Metallic on the 911 (993) (1994–1998, 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 Iris Blue Metallic a Paint to Sample color?
Our sources list Iris Blue Metallic 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 Iris Blue Metallic may be a PTS order.
How can I tell if a Porsche is factory Iris Blue 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 39V and 39N. A matching color name alone does not rule out a respray or wrap.
