Someone backed into my beloved 2003 Boxster in a parking lot a few
weeks ago causing about $500 damage to rear bumper/quarter panel area.
My Boxster had never had an accident before that required any painting.
So l was a little nervous about finding a body shop that could match
the paint after doing the body repair. l asked around and finally used
a body shop that has been in business for over 50 years. Big mistake.
The paint match was terrible! l can not even see a hint of violet in the
midnight blue paint. Is there anyone out there who knows a body shop in
the Worcester/495 area that has experience painting porsche cars with
metallic paint? Help!

Call the Porsche dealer and ask who they use. Next any shop shooting a Porsche should be using PPG paint, nothing else is going to match. Should be DBC or DBU brand of PPG.

Also contact your local Porsche club, they can help you greatly in who does what to the cars.

ask the porsche dealer who they use.

Someone should run u over with that boxster. Sounds like u are in the boston area, and l know that there is a porsche dealer there. l can not believe that you would not have known that some paint and body repair express shop would get the paint code wrong. l would not take a lawnmower to one of those places

first answer is correct.

Metallic paint is the hardest to match in the aftermarket & varies slightly regardless of the shop or manufacturer. Typically when repainting a metallic car, the shop will have to paint a larger area to blend in the color. Keep in mind that ur car is also 4+ years old & is likely victim to minor discoloration from the sun.

That said, u can find a good shop that can get it close, but it is unlikely that it will ever be like new again. Have them paint from one complete panel to another or blend around the engine cover & side fenders. They can get it close enough.

PPG paint is CRAP!!

Find an authorized Glasurit Paint shop(Glasurit provides the paints for virtually all German cars.)

Nuttings Body shop in Acton has done really excellent work for me over the years, including several 911's. Owner Tom Nutting is a Porsche owner and does a lot of Porsche work.
