First pics of a shark blue spyder delivery in the UK on FB. Looks very nice; darker than it seems on the GT3 videos, but that must be the interior lighting they are using.

That picture by "997.2 GTS" above is a PTS color, Ultraviolet. I believe it originally appeared on the 991 GT3RS.
In my opinion is one of the finest exotic colors you can get.

Very nice. Is this your car? If so, would you mind providing some details on your build?

Correct.
The launch color was Lava Orange but the BEST color was UV

Is Vesuvio available as a PTS color for the 718 GT4?

I know that Porsche keeps an officially approved list of PTS colors these days. I think my SA said there are 82 colors on the current list. I craned my neck to get a brief glance at the sheet listing the current colors. It had some Porsche wording across the top effectively saying "for their eyes only". The color in question at the time was graphite blue and I know that is not currently on the list. Apparently you can still ask for a true PTS but the word is that has become very expensive and as always, requires Porsche's agreement.

Trying to find the list, I stumbled across this video and there he briefly shows a prior version of the list just after the four minute mark. I don't know how old it was. I've included a skip to that point on this link:

My SA e-mailed me the list last year so just ask.

Yes, it is marked internal use only.

Finally all confirmed, and in. Very minor CXX of the keys, but nothing else was possible right now.

Does anyone have a company (@BobZ?) that could introduce paint match for some internal work? I'd like to paint in the '718' on the gear stick plate and maybe the hands on the chrono clock, or the dials on the infotainment unit, to bring a little of the exterior colour into the car without overwhelming it.

Partly inspired by Lord Ascots sport mode dial on his green/ascot targa.
