Looks like the dark metallic blues are in the lead. I just realized that I had posted the color choices in order of my preference, and that there seems to be concurrence - is there a psychologist in the house.

This is great, keep the alternatives coming (except Hot Pink!!)

I second Kiln Red. My shark is Kiln Red and it looks quite sharp. The color always draws compliments.

Wierd JB, "Brown, very brown" was not one of my original options - it still isn't

There has been some discussion about touching up the brown ,very brown into full on Desert camouflage the better to sneak up on unsuspecting 911s at Willow Springs ......was that a dust devil? no just Bailey.

Velvet red or green would look good with that interior color.

BC - I think you got it

This site is so valuable and the feedback is just amazing!!!

So now the question is - should I go with the black cross on the side?

How about an F-16 aircraft look-alike custom paint job complete with warnings, lettering, "intake", fake rivets, etc. That would be cool. I have seen a lot of custom motorcycles, and those guys stop at nothing to end up with something original and cool.

The deep blue metallics have it.

I should be getting a color chart from House of Kolor later this week, and I am also going to see if I can get one with the PPG paints. Anyone have experience of quality of one over the other? So unless something jumps right out at me, I'll probably go with the blue.

Thanks for all your help

What do you think? What color would you paint it?

Not having ever met any RICH CAMELS, I'm at a loss to make a suggestion...

I drove a 996 cab a couple of months back, at a PCA gathering at the local P-car dealer. It had the camel interior and a burgundy paint and was GORGEOUS!
