Was sitting at a stop light a few weeks back when an off duty sheriff rolled into the back of the GTS. He must of been going a whole 2 mph when he touched. Left a few scratches in the bumper cover and that was it. Brought the car over to VLZ Elite Concepts to await an estimate. Went back and forth with his insurance co stating that the rear bumper cover would need to come off for a proper paint job, etc, etc. Was quite surprised at what was awarded. VLZ quoted me to fix the rear bumper cover and a few things that needed attention. Then asked what it would cost to do a complete, paint apart job in another color. For not much more $ Just Beachy will be wearing her new color at the upcoming Spring Fling. T

Tony,

993 Turbo: Tourquoise Blue Color that will rock Texas if you repaint that color.

Only one 993 Turbo that was painted this color Jerry S owned it.

Sold at Barrett J for quarter million i think

Google Jerry Seinfeld's 1997 993 Turbo he used to own. The code name escapes me but who's hue of blue is burned into brain.

I was seriously considering this color for my 911 and have been thinking about this color for years I you don't like it.

Someone please upload a pic of it, off to work.

Ed, 9two8, and Wayne like the Minerva Blue metallic and so do we T

T I was going to suggest that you not repaint your already repainted car,
the extra thickness will damage the underlying paint and it will craze after a while.
I thought the paint job you did on it was terrific.

BUT this is your GTS and you can paint it as many times as you want

Tony,

Stan raises a good point. For peace of mind, have your painter measure the mil thickness of the existing paint. Judging by his work, he looks like a competent painter so he will have a mil gauge. The damaged bumper would be a good place take the measurements. The "P-sheets" will provide what the added film build will be. Do the simple math and make sure that you are staying within PPG's warranty. You will be fine BUT there is no denying that your paint will be less rock chip friendly with the added material.

I wouldn't sweat it.
