My opinion is Dark Metallic Reds, Blues, & Greens look best on 928s.

Y'know, I'd like to see a 928 painted the same Silberrosa that came on the first 1988 944 Turbo S cars. Just without the wild plaid interior.

I like Guards Red.

I also like Meteor Metallic. It has almost a very faint lavender undertone in some lights.

And I like Cassisrot. But then I'm comfortable with my feminine side!

I always thought that white looked like the dogs! Silver will have to do for now!

Yep. You, I and Cameron know that it doesn't really look anything at all like the picture I posted of my '91. It's one of those 'have to see it' colors.

I guess i am partial, i love the Black/Champagne look (or even Black/Cashmere). I still like the dark grey on it too with either Linen or Black interior. That's my thing though... and people see their colors differently.]

Sincerely,
Khaled

Yes

Meteor Metallic although is nice is just not my thing. The wife loves it though!

Guards red, is okay but still not my thing.

Garnet Red metallic is gorgeous, but not quite there.

Arena Red is where it is at!!! With Velvet red a close second.

HUH??? What does that actually mean to us old guys? There's nothing wrong with white. It's an easy color that works on any car. Not my first choice, but I still love it...very clean looking.

Keith,

Not sure but I think he ment he likes it.

BTW the white looks even better with the clear corners and markers. I must know were you got the side markers from. I have all the parts for the clear corners but have yet to find a supplier for the markers.

Looks great.

Keith,
Good old British phrase - The dogs b*llocks = The best! Sorry for the confusion! I've always had a thing for white sharks and yours is a beauty!
