Amazon green is amazing. Never seen that color before.

Not a great photo but you get the idea.

I chartered a surf trip this past April on a cat. based out of Phuket. The "Bohemian" run by Steve and Ann. Cool people and a fantastic time was had by all. I would have never guessed there was a 928 to be found in that part of the world. Very cool, we're going again next year maybe I'll look you up.

Default With and without flash

Here's two identical pictures, the first with the flash on and the second without....looks like two different paint jobs.

nice! that granite is just an amazing color. goes well with the black rims. wouldnt have thought so. gives it an almost military look. can that shark in phuket ever get to stretch its legs? i would guess its like the ones in hawaii that are dying to get above the low speed limits.
that amazon is definitely on the fence...almost a turquoise actually. guess you can call it blue or green!

Question: is that a flower bouquet sticking out of your exhaust? Got to be an interesting story there...
When they were urging you to do the 'RMB' mod, they meant 'rear muffler bypass', not 'red & mauve bouquet', fyi.

Jeez, the green car guys...
J/K, Beautiful car. Yeah the green 928's are sweet!

I used to think Lint Green Metallic was pretty rare until I bought this car then... I see four or five same color.

Not sure if this customer has green exterior, but the interior is definitely green.
I've seen very few green leather interiors.

Green does seem to be rare.......I would say the rarest color in the USA has to be yellow.....I hardly ever see a yellow 928, thats the original paint

That is indeed a fake flower boquet. LOL. Long story short, I was in a local indoor car show parked next to the Centex Corvette club. They were nice enough to let me park with their club. Their theme was a beach theme. They didn't want for me to feel left out, so they gave me some decorations.

We did quite a few parts for this customer in that color. I couldn't find it any of my usual suppliers it so we had it made up at the tannery.
I used all we had, but I can get more.

A half hide (approx 25 sq ft) would run about $250.

There are at least 6 or 7 Oak Green Metallic GTS, 3 or 4 S4 and at least one GT. And thats only limited sample I know.

Lint Green was fairly common on early years. There are at least two in Finland.

Haven't seen any Signal Green 928, there can't be many if any and for good reason. It works at 964 RS but not in 928 in my opinion.

Some blues look green in certail light. For example Petrol Blue is very deceiving same way as Amazon Green.

This is my Oak Green on the blocks few years back. Not much has changed other than it has move closer to home and is even dirtier.

Rich Andrade here in Phoenix has an Amazon Green GTS. First time I saw it it was black, no wait... the next time it was dark blue... only the third time did I actually believe it was green... bit like a Chameleon - 3 cars for the price of one...

It is a very nice color!

Erkka - get that car back on the road at once...!
