Color Code Decals

OEMatch Color Code Decals — Fit, Function, Confidence

Colour code decals identify a Porsche’s original paint information and are typically located in door jambs, luggage compartments or the engine bay. Accurate reproductions preserve presentation, aid correct paint matching during resprays or touch-ups and support provenance for collectors and restorers of classic and modern Porsche models.

Available Types

• Original-layout colour code stickers printed in the correct typeface
• Weather-resistant adhesive labels for jambs and engine bays
• Replacement sheets for multiple restorations and touch-ups

Understanding OEMatch Color Code Decals

OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts are made by the same company that produced your Porsche’s original color code decals. OE (Original Equipment) refers to parts matching original specifications for the color code decals and may be supplied by alternative manufacturers. Aftermarket parts offer alternative options, sometimes with enhanced features or better value. OEMatch supplies non-OEM color code decals engineered as direct-fit alternatives to OEM parts, made to original-spec dimensions and tolerances for Porsche models. OEMatch focuses on colour-code decal items selected for Porsche applications, offering reproductions that follow original layout and labelling to help maintain accurate vehicle records and visual authenticity during restoration or repair work.
