So many fantastic colours .. Early 991's are such natural beauties , they look good no matter what the colour .. But ..There's one above that has really stuck me!
Dave , (Imho) wipe your mind clean , look at A's pics above , and start deciding again!

If you come up with grey again , then i think you've made the right decision.

There is that stone gray that was a factory color for the 356...had a hint of green in it. That is a period and unique color.
I'm liking the darker yellows/ blues/ greens too.

I may be mistaken, but I believe that this is aubergine, one of my favorite Porsche colors. There was a beautiful aubergine 1972 911 running around Chicago that I almost bought way back when.

Some fantastic colours there to choose from guys, many thanks for posting.

I know what my favourites are, but let's hope that Dave manages to quickly pick one of them (or one of his own) since we've more or less got the entire underside of the shell abraded & ready, another few hours preparation and it's paint time!
