Definitely a match for Shark Blue! No-one would be able to tell them apart. This could even be used in interiors with the painted inlays to match exterior color. Tom, we now know where Porsche sources its colors from. :lol:

That bezel cover looks OEM minus the $400-$600 price tag if it was an OEM option.

Is that your new car? Congrats if so! And we need more pictures!!!

The match is amazing. Thank you soooo much for posting it! I assume it's a coincidence, but that's the second (at least) Porsche color with a near-exact match sold by Rustoleum....

Sad to say it is not mine. However, the exterior is identical to mine. I will post up plenty of pics when mine arrives.

Kudos to Tom for finding a Rustoleum paint color that matches near perfect. Who would have guessed it was possible?

I'm still super interested in a green one (any green close to mamba will look good-enough I think) for my Taycan if you're still taking offers :) More than happy to cover costs or return the favor if I can help with anything.

Sorry, I think I dropped the ball on this. Too many things to keep track of at my age. :crazy: :wtf:

I just saw your walk around video too, and took a quick look at off-the-shelf spray paint colors. It's your call, but I don't think we do that car justice with a standard green spray paint. For about $35, I can get a can paint matched to the Mamba paint code. Or I could send you an unpainted one and let you paint as you like?
