Paint to Sample: Porsche Individuality Perfected
Defining a Legacy Through Color
Every Porsche is a masterpiece of engineering, but for many enthusiasts, performance is only one part of the story. True individuality is found in the details, and no detail captures personality more vividly than color. The Porsche Paint to Sample (PTS) program allows drivers to transform their vehicles into rolling expressions of identity, pairing iconic German engineering with hues as rare and timeless as the driver behind the wheel. At Porsche Monterey, we help bring these visions to life.
The Beauty of Porsche Paint to Sample
Porsche has long been synonymous with exclusivity, but the PTS program takes this philosophy even further. Instead of selecting from a limited palette of standard or special colors, clients can choose from a vast catalog of historic Porsche shades or submit an entirely bespoke tone. From the elegant subtlety of Oak Green Metallic to the bold vibrancy of Rubystone Red or Riviera Blue, these colors tell stories-of eras, of passions, of individuality.
Paint to Sample is not simply about aesthetics. Each chosen hue is subjected to rigorous quality controls to ensure the pigment interacts flawlessly with Porsche's bodywork and finishes. The end result is more than paint: it's perfection tested for longevity, brilliance, and harmony.

Ordering Your Paint to Sample Porsche
The journey of creating your Paint to Sample Porsche begins with consultation. At Porsche Monterey, our specialists guide you through the process, helping you understand both the breadth of pre-approved PTS colors and the possibilities of submitting your own bespoke request.
PTS Pre-Approved: A library of rare colors from Porsche's archives, once reserved for limited production models or special commissions, now available for selection.
PTS Bespoke: For those who envision a completely unique color, Porsche engineers will test, validate, and refine your submission to ensure it meets the brand's uncompromising standards.
It is important to note that Paint to Sample requires additional lead time, as the process involves testing and validation prior to production. The patience, however, yields a singular reward: a Porsche that cannot be mistaken for any other.
Why Choose Paint to Sample?
For some, the appeal lies in heritage. Reviving the exact shade of a 1970s 911 Carrera RS creates continuity between past and present. For others, it's about pure individuality-a desire to own something no other driver will ever possess. Whatever the reason, PTS ensures that your Porsche is as unique as your fingerprint.This exclusivity also extends beyond ownership. Paint to Sample vehicles often hold their value exceptionally well, as rarity and individuality enhance desirability in the eyes of collectors and enthusiasts.
