Color help needed!
 
My car is about to be painted this week. I'm still kind of split between Gulf Blue and a Lexus color called Twilight Amethyst Pearl. The lexus color will be a safe bet because its very close to black. As for the blue I feel risky and uncertain how it will turn out on my car which is a 930 turbo with the slantnose rear fender fins and box rockers but without the slantnose infront. Has anyone any opinion/objection to these colors? Thanks

what color is your interior?

Yen 09-01-2006 03:20 PM

Black at the moment but will consider changing to something like tan if going with the lexus color.

I had a black metallic BMW and did'nt really care for it. I guess I'll vote for the Gulf Blue.

What year is your car? if it's between '78 and '80 there was a color available called petrol blue. I have to say it's a unique and amazing blend between blue and green. Check the picture. Color is however a very personal matter. Just my thoughts.

This is a joke right?....gulf blue. Dark car is hard to keep clean...Plus, any pearl in the paint and if you ever have to match it...even if close to black...w/the metallic flip, etc. is very difficult.

Plus...do you really want to tell people its a "lexus" color...if you want a metallic, Porsche has had many to choose from.

Did I mention that the Gulf or Mexico blue would be awesome.

I would love to own a silver Porsche.

I know I'm not answering your original question, but if I may just state my 2 cents.....keep it the original color. You'll be glad you did in the long run. Been there done it with the color change many years ago. Worst thing I could have done. I would love to change the boring color of my white 930 but its too much headache to do it right. Anyway....Silver looks awesome on A 930!

I vote for yellow... ;)

The color you currently have, but if your mind is made up to change it - GULF BLUE...

im4duke 09-01-2006 10:55 PM

My opinion....freshen up the silver, drop the boxed rockers and remove the rear fender slats.

sliver is such the best colour for a 930...dont stray...gulf blue is a beautiful colour but better suits earlier 911s...just my two cents worth

senna21 09-02-2006 02:01 PM

My votes

1) Silver but add a more agressive air dam(RSR comes to mind it'll look great with the slats) - this will be best for resale and it already looks great
2)Petrol or gulf blue- my preference is the Petrol but both are great colors
