car's aren't usually flat black. they are actually a semi flat.
no doubt would be an awesome look. and you'd have to clean it every 90 minutes or so.

Yeah. Every color has some downside. Black is too hard to keep glossy. White is too hard to keep tidy. Red fades... Even silver has a downside - it will be so filthy and you won't know it, until you decide to lean against the car and your clothes get totally dirty.

I am fully prepared to see pics of the most AWESOME 968 repaint ever!
Kudos for going through with it. It sounds like it will be stunning, can't wait.

white is a bizarre color. it gives off an illusion. from about ten meters, or more it will almost always look very clean, under brighter light, even more so. it has to be very dirty to begin to become noticable.....
start to get close and the dirt will begin to show more...... get really close and you'll almost wish you could scrub the car with 1200 grit sand paper, (which is almost what you need to do to get it really clean before waxing).

It's not going to be white, I choose the champion gray color, tinted my back lights and front flasher, with black mirror and black mags.
I'll pick it up tonight, I'll post pics as soon as can...

can't wait to see it.... i'm sick of white. let's see,
pull the engine, paint the car, change to 993 lights, fix the front bumper to look like a Porsche.
maybe 18 grand at the autobody shop ? by the time i finish this car i coulda had a 360 modena.
