You are right. My car is lighter than the one here. It looks more like the picture of your crest. Cheap camera!!! I'm quite sure it's Cobalt Blue.

Bertrand:

Did you re-cover the seats? Just curious as that is on my TTD list.

No. I bought some dye from Color plus and did many parts (sunvisors, armrests, driver's door panel, steering wheel, shifter handel...) in the car including both front seats. I tried to do the job with a brush but the result was not very satisfying. So I did it with an air brush. The color match was perfect but the finish result was a bit less shiny than the rest of the car. I'm very pleased with the final result.

I am glad to hear it. Not many Cobalt 37U cars out there. The new Cobalt Porsche uses is not as nice. It does not change color the same way 37U does.

Great job detailing it and a beautiful 928 although you need to get a better camera to show off how truly beautiful it is.

Thanks Heinrich you are too kind. There are too many gorgeous 928's on this forum to say which is nicest. They all look good to me. Bertrand's right now gets my thumbs up. Would love to see more pictures once you capture the true Cobalt color.

I had a professional photographer do a photo shoot of my 944 S2 the other day. Most of the pictures were motion shots. They are going too use the car for an article in Excellence Magazine maybe November or December. It is amazing to see how much better a car can look when it is properly photographed.

Nice job. I'm still in the middle of an engine rebuild (it's been 5 months). LOL. Once I get done, I hope to start the cosmetic redo. If I get it anywhere near yours I'll be ecstatic. 2 thumbs up!

Beautiful Car! Whatever shade of blue, cobalt or iris, they all look incredibly great to me, 928 or 911! Thats a color on a GTS that will knock your socks off!
