Paint to sample (PTS) in whatever custom color the owner wanted.

Here’s a pic of a Mexico Blue car. I believe the car you posted is VooDoo Blue.

‘The price of PTS has increased substantially recently to approximately $12K IIRC.

They both look great but I prefer the "voodoo".

And hell no it's not a factory color. In that pic it looks painted, not wrapped.

Yeah. With the factory pearlescent paint options being a $5k upgrade the PTS option was 50-100% more, even if you were choosing a Porsche factory color which wasn't pearlescent and was actually easier to paint.
