Here's Velvet Red without rub strips. There's another pic in my signature. The color was available in 89 and 90 so it would be period correct for your car.

Marine Blue

Cyclamen or Arena Red! The dark candy red colors really look amazing on 928's.

Guards Red, done.

@mike: realy like the color. Very nice. Just don't know if it is "sporty" enough for my taste - all this dark colours look very classic on the 928
@david: sure, guardsred is the alltime great color. And thats why I'm not quite sure anymore if I really want to have it.
@ryan: I adore my interior color. For my taste it's the best out there. The picture doesn't show it good enough and yes the condition is perfect.
I like your pictures of the boxster and 996 - looks a little bit like this car to me: (Is it kiln red?)

And is this a coral red one? (Sorry for the many questions but someone might know the cars as they are from the US)

fiddled around in photoshop a bit - zanzybar on a 928 - doesn't look to bad?

It was and at least few '95 MY were made. Thinked about buying this ext factory 5sp some years ago when it was for sale in UK eBay. Should have followed it through and not let it slip away.

928 obsession

I've always loved Guards Red, but I might be biased.

This is the faded look of kiln red. Will be repainting this spring (will get rid of the dent where wife backed into 1/4 with mini van!)

This may be 1 already mentioned, can't tell for sure, but it has always been my favorite red for a 928, so rich so deep;

@hagen
so the pictures in my post #19 don't seem to be Klin red no? Or does it appear so different?

Thanks guys! For the moment I decided to do a test with indischrot and zanzibar red (Thanks a lot for the tip). I'm very keen on zanzibar with a little bit more red and metallic effect. Might look great. Have to get all the materials for the prepwork on the car and the final product should be on the street 03/2011.

The most interesting red color i ever saw a Porsche in was "Marachino Cherry Metallic" on a 1988 944 Turbo. With champaign beige leather, it was quite elegant. Haven't seen one since.

IMHO

My favorite Porsche reds are Crimson and Arena red. Besides mine I've only ever seen one other crimson red car.

Arena Red has come up a bunch. Personally there are a bunch of 993's and 996's in this shade. Its always been very boring to me. Its like a burnt burgundy to me and if you like burgundy, then go for the color Stan mentioned on the first page. Cyclam...... whatever that word is. Thats a nice color. Arena Red is a standard color and if your going to put a custom paint job on a car, then do something your not going to see on another porsche. Arena Red is quite common, and quite bland in my opinion.

If you wanna see more pics of Zanzibar then search on Ebay right now. There is a 997 painted to order in Zanzibar. An e-bay search for Zanzibar porsche should point you in the right direction. The pics are a bit tough to read though because the car was shot under artificial lighting which really does the color no favors. It really pops in sunlight.

here are a couple more pics of Zanzibar

Oh and I like the color effect you did to put Zanzibar on a 928, thats cool, I wanted to see what a 928 looks like in Zanzibar, but it is slightly darker than the way your paint shopping turned out.
