Ok, its coming very close now to choosing the colour, narrowing it down to Viper Green but Blut Orange is near to the books. What I like about Blut orange is its dark orange giving it a more bold, solid colour showing more shape and form of the car.
Hopefully back on track, deciding to have the car painted in 2 Pack rather than waterbase. Prefably 2 pack and laquer
What do you think?
Its got to work on a 64 and even on this 997 Gemballa

That orange looks great.
Looking at your first picture...what about painting the spoiler grill orange (body color) also? I really don't have an opinion either way...just a thought.
I can't remember the details of your build, are you going with Yellowbird style window frame mirrors? Black headlight rings? Which wheels?

I would keep the cup mirrors as these are more functional than your cup/dtm mirrors you cant even see out of and not sure with the wheels or headlight rings.

That's how I feel about painting the lower bumper covers and side sils. Makes the bumper look even bigger and brings the eye down... (I know it's a favorite of many on the forum - no flames, just my view).

Ruf (CTR style) mirrors are different from my mirrors, and don't require the the holes in the door. A very clean design. My mirrors are Sebring Vitaloni mirrors (mounted on the Flag mirror base). Actually, I can see out of them quite well thank you. Convex lenses are the key my friend...
Good luck with the rest of the build. Fun decisions!
Here's Ruf CTR mirror, a visual from my mirror...and a really nice looking orange car.

Blood orange is looking good Norm!
A set of Ruf cup mirrors went cheap recently on eBay. I was tempted but Franks review of them (when he checked them out for his car) put me off. No point in having no rear view!

The Cup dtm mirrors are lovely, and certainly cleans the lines on the car without the interuption and breaks from these big cup mirrors. But in terms of practicality, I know which one i'd choose! So Chris, Franks car may look good, but can he check his rear sides?
As for the rear boot vent, I think personally the black is fine. Whereas the colourcoded sills makes the car look lower, same with the front lower lip but people normally leave the front black as it catches stones quite easily. But Jetta each to their own I guess.
Evo, orange isn't great with Jagermister logos!ha I agree but dont you love the colour, but am sure the Jagermister orange is lighter? to be corrected.
Ray, yes its like a kid in a toy shop, not knowing which one to choose because he likes them all. Afterall its like a blank canvas!
What I dont want to do is go for the most obvious colour, especially when you associate Maritime blue, Signal Green,etc with the 964RSs. But orange is more of a unique colour and rare too on a 964, but dont know if the colour will last through time.
Whereas Viper Green, is similar to Signal but in reflection to an up to date colour of whats about now on the 996-997.
My Irish friend Derek says choose a colour you and everyone loves ie Maritime because you have to think of the next person who owns the car but colours like Green is like chalk and cheese with people. You either like it or hate it!
huh!

Depends how long you intend to keep it for. I had the same dilemma, do I go for a colour that is sellable i.e. something like GP White or do I go for a colour that I really like. In the end, I decided to go with what I really like since I can't see myself selling the car anytime soon.

My 64 is Baltic blue and it's a nice blue but boring so if I ever get round to painting it a different colour viper green or mint are my favs so I think your choice of viper is a good one as it will look the nuts when done!! .... Its a winner in my book....
