I love my black, it is absolutly beautiful on the car. Black on tan interior, it doesn't get much better!

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.

 

Here's a pic that shows how much brighter the Rainforest Green gets in direct sunlight:

 

What's the paint code? I dont see it in the fact manuals. My stone grey metallic is "LY 7 U"

 

if i could afford to paint my 951 it would be yellow.

 

Wait a second, thats my idea! Be sure to post pics when its done. I wile ago i used ps to make my ideal car with a pic of a yellow 951.

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

Mine is LY7U also.

 

I like the yellow, but why the graphite wheels?

 

I like yellow too - anyone have more pics of yellow?

i made a topic asking for yellow 951 pics, and there were quite a few links of cars in reply, just do a search.

Black is the only way to fly. I also have the polished 17" C2 turbo wheels. looks great.
