Any opinions for my new paint? Will repainting anything other than stock (but still Porsche color) lessen the quality of the car?

that's a good question. my friend has a 944S that is the same color as your 951. he's having it repainted the same color because he's worried about it being less valuable if its not original. i tried talking him into painting it another porsche color because i might buy it from him, but he wouldn't. i personally think that you should be happy with your car. if its not the color you want, and you can't or don't want to buy another, paint it. its a lot of work changing the color of a car, but in my opinion its worth it if your happy. also, is it really gonna devalue your car? i could see that if your car is a limited/special/one of a kind or low mileage car. if its not, make yourself happy and paint it! porsches should be enjoyed by being driven, not an investment.

I'm partial, but Black. As dark as the abyss. So deep you want to look for stars in it. I believe it's not only the color, but the wheels and height of the car to complete the look.
Otherwise, I am truly drawn to Mike B's car. That Saffire Blue is kick ***. His wheels just set it off too.

My car is black and while I like it, it is a chore to keep clean. I prefer stone grey metallic.

I like the yellow, but why the graphite wheels?
