Default Cars & Coffee (this weekend's 964 find: non-metallic slate grey)

We're lucky to have some amazing cars show up week after week at our local Cars & Coffee near Raleigh, NC.

This week my favorite Porsche at the event was this paint-to-sample non-metallic slate grey 3.6 Turbo. It's the only one... Full leather interior with red seat piping. Less than 1,700 miles on the odometer.

I wish I could have parked my car next to it so show the HUGE difference there is between metallic and non-metallic slate grey.

That color comes off as such a modern color, it's crazy to see it on a 964. Looks awesome!

Great color. Looks like it was just built last week.
It's certainly at stock ride height. Could use some running boards, perhaps
There's no way I could own that car and NEVER drive it

Default What paint code??

Slate grey, or something special? Looks lighter than slate back then.
Thanks.
