Guards red is easily recognized as the most famous and most desirable of all the colours.
Unless you wanna buy it for your wife!!

p.s. And the only real colour for a porsche interior is black.

I'd stay with the same color... Unless you will have the car completely torn apart and redone. The last thing you want is to open a door or hood or trunk and see the old color. Stay with the same color!

We all know you are nuts , Kirk rides motorcycles in the snow , so no need to bite .
Red is Ferrari .
White is Porsche , Porsche paints its fast cars white . If you look at most of the factory race cars , under all the stickers is a white paint job . Its called Grand Prix White because thats the race color .

Does a true driver really car when going 100+ dipping in and out of corners? I think more people see that it's a Porsche... wow cool if you are into what others think. I've never seen anyone say cool..... a fast colored car.

As Henry Ford once said, "you have a choice, as long as it is black."
Well, we aren't talking Model As or Ts here...so just replace the word black with silver and you have your answer.

One of my first posts as newbie....but I'll offer the following: Stay with white......IMHO.....it's a great color, it's original.....and it will save you considerable time/money prepping and painting under the hood(s) door jambs, etc. I'd also recoomend a 2nd opinion on the re-spray. White's one of the hardest/toughest paints - perhaps a professional wet sand and polish would bring it back to "life"?

Red is OK if you want it to match your nail polish, but for the real men out there, GP White is real! (and faster than red ones, thank you very much).

The white is a great color. I personally wouldn't change. I was struggling with the same issue as my midnight blue c2 needs a repaint and I love the grey, but the blue grew on me, and keeping it the factory color is always best if you can stand it.

For some reason I'm biased with GrandPrix white... And the interior is linen. Wasn't easy at the beginning but now I love it! Most people are tired of black interior, cause nowadays all cars are like that as part of the basic options.
White is for racing, red is to show off, blue and others for the undecided
Seriously don't change the colour or the resale value will show, nobody likes cars painted with a different colour anymore.
