Wouldn't it be less expensive to just to have your car repainted to whatever color you like by a body shop?

No way. Doing it properly would involve dismantling the car. There was an RS owner that did it a few years ago and I’ll bet his cost was north of $30k.

The quality will not match the factory paint. PTS generally makes the car more desirable at upon resale because they are rare. Repainting the whole car will definitely hurt your resell value.

Graphite blue is not on the current approved PTS list.
There is a GraphitGray code 7B2 but I don’t know what it looks like.

There are other approved grays: Stone Grey, Dolphin Grey, Alexgrey, China Grey, Fashion Grey, NardoGrey, and of course two colors of Slate Grey plus some metallic greys.

If you want to drive yourself crazy and waste WAY too much time, play with the Porsche color database here: https://www.colors.rs/colors

Actually, there was a very wealthy guy over on the GT3 sub forum who took a brand new RS a few years back, had it stripped down to the body and custom painted by a specialized shop and it was epic. Crazy expensive and a massive risk dismantling a car like that if you ask me, but the finished product was something special. I don't think the factory could necessarily have done any better.

Came across a Gulf Blue.

This is the color I would have chosen had PTS worked out. Seeing it in a picture confirms I would have been happy with it.

Nice find but are you sure it's Riviera Blue? It looks too dark. I know lighting can have a big effect of how the camera picks up the color and renders it but it's showing too dark for Riviera Blue IMO. Could it be Mexico Blue? Still beautiful either way.

Did you find this on the internet or did you see this in person? Do you have any details so I can add it to my PTS spreadsheet?
