Timmy your paint doesn't look that bad,is there that significant a repair that a color change is necessary?
or are you simply feeling a change of pace? I'm considering reshooting mine non metallic slate but
quite a few of the new GT3 RS colors are tempting,riviera blue.signal green,signal yellow ,all of them!
What's up on the steering wheel? thanks Bert

My previous 911 SC was that colour and I still miss it.
I'm not familiar with schieffler gray. My car is Slate Gray Metallic.
My old SC was Zinc Metallic, IMO the best silver of all time.

I think he meant "schiefergrau" which is "Slate Grey"

sounds right, mine looks burgundy or even chocolate brown in some light, midnight purple at night, and almost pinkish in afternoon sun. trippy!

Why are you planning to repaint the car?

I kind of like brighter color, that's why I would like to change this car from midnight blue as part of the rebuild project. Thanks...

This is the Tahoe blue car that I nearly bought - just a shame it had been mechanically neglected and had too much rust. The colour is stunning in the flesh, it really suits the widebody, and is really evocative of the era and the car - loud yuppy!

I remember seeing that Tahoe blue car for sale. It looked fantastic, what did you buy instead?

I thought 964 Turbo did not come in Orange, this is cool. What shade of Orange is this? Continental Orange?

First time I've heard of rust being an issue with our cars, where was it and how bad?
