hello everyone, i have a doubt about paint to sample option.
only recently this option made available for the Porsche taycan,
and i am not sure if this option is country specific, i sent an email to
Porsche Muscat and they ignored my message and didn't replay to me,
this is why i came here to ask you.
can i make an order for porsche taycan sedan in speed yellow or rosso corsa?
i read online that total colors for paint to sample option are 160 colors,
but, i only see 65 shades available here for the taycan,
can i choose whatever shade i want from other models,
or shades are fixed to certain model and cannot be changed.
very nice and special colors that few people own for this model,
i can afford the extra money and extra 3 months of delivery time,
if you print .pdf option in online configurator you get paint to sample order number 89
i believe this is an ascending number, this is how special the car is.
can you please confirm, i want to make sure first. thank you, goodbye.

As far as I know, the link you posted is to the 'pre-approved' list which costs around £6K GBP (~$7K?) - these are almost certainly available being pre-approved. Sadly no yellows on the list. In the UK we are advised it could mean at least 6 months delivery time. This is the list, no other colours are pre-approved.

The other option costs around £12K GBP (~$15K?) and gives potential access to lots more colours - especially Porsche ones not on the list - but it also adds a 'feasibility' stage, where Porsche check 1) if they can technically use the colour (adhesion/longevity etc) and 2) if they will 'commercially' allow a customer proposed colour. For example, they may not allow colours specifically linked to another high-end special car- or VWS branded car (Lambo etc) - in order to retain it's exclusivity.

This option can add 12 months to delivery and there is no guarantee the suggested colour will be approved. I am not sure if half of the £12K cost is then retained by Porsche to pay for the feasibility study?

Just my understanding....

If they don’t let you why not choose the free colours and then either get it wrapped in the colour you want or Paint protection Sprayed in the colour you want. I considered GT silver metallic even though it isn’t a choice. Pts+ is £12k entire car pps is probably max 10k

2022 Taycan

For Taycan Paint to Sample is about 65 colors, available on the Porsche PTS media kit. Make sure to select Taycan for Taycan specific colors.

https://media.porsche.com/paint-to-sample/Taycan

Paint to Sample "Plus" is about double the price and double the colors I believe, and makes available Porsche colors already vetted by Porsche Exclusive Manufactur.
Otherwise if you are wanting a brand new color new to Porsche you start the whole entire vetting process 12-24 months.
