I was planning on it but fell in love with the paint after seeing it in person.

I get it, and I'm in the same boat. I just wrapped my brand new black Macan in Xpel Stealth, but not considering it for the Boxster. Still want to see it, but someone else will have to make that leap!

Sort of similar to a Papaya Orange Macan over in the Macan forum wrapped in Stealth... Papaya is a gorgeous color in person that really has an amazing metal flake effect that is negated by Stealth- but you can't deny it still looks great. Just personal preference.

My 992 GTS in Arctic Grey is currently in production. My son sent me these pics of AG with stealth he saw online...

Interesting. That makes it start to look a lot more like chalk or gt silver. I wonder if the color shift properties is lost with the stealth. I talked to my detailer about it before I got work done and he didn't think that it wouldn't be better than clear ppf.

Edit: critical autocorrect error.

Agreed looks like flat GT Silver

Has anyone spec'ed racing yellow deviated stitch with arctic grey exterior?

I wonder how yellow dev stitch would look on launch spec for GT4RS (vs normal deep sea blue)

I have a 992 GTS currently in production with yellow deviated stitching. I hope to be able to post pictures in about a month.

Not a 718, but my GT3 arrived in Artic Grey....this thread helped me tremendously with visualizing what it would look like. Trying out the wing delete look, kind of like it, but will probably put the wing back on eventually. Easy swap in/out.

I was going to do Chalk, which I also really like on the GT4, but I have decided that I am going to do Arctic Grey instead. I feel like it is a little "fresher" of a Porsche Color, and it will be more rare on a GT4 - being available only 1 of 4 MY's versus 4 of 4 for Chalk.

For those looking for Pics and Videos of non-RS GT4's - here is a great video of one that I don't think has been posted here yet:

Arctic Grey GT4

I find that the videos are very helpful, you can see more so the ways the shadows move as the angles change.

Not an RS, but this video I posted above is RY stitching, and I think it looks terrific with the Arctic Grey!

I was going to spec the RY with my GT4 order, but then @dub inspired me to go Orange.

@dub - I came across this video the other day:


Holy cow, our cars are going to look AMAZING!!

Mine is spec'ed with 18 Ways as I am optimizing mine for the Street and will have a separate dedicated track car, so mine will look a lot like the one in the video on the inside - yours will look EVEN BETTER with the Buckets and plaid inserts with Orange in them! I can't wait to see the pics of how that turns out.
