What was your V code at the time you requested the color change?

Early last week it was V110 while I was making changes and late last week it was bumped to V215. July delivery does not sound right according to SA. It will be pulled in, fingers crossed.

$4k Canadian so ya. At first they said no then the dealer had to show them a precedent they agreed to on a previous PTS car.

OK, I know what I'm about to state is probably controversial and the subject (color) is SO very subjective.
Without calling out a specific color, but in light (no pun) of a PTS color on a .2 GT3 that was recently posted online I've come to realize that all colors are NOT nice on this car! PTS or not.
Until today I thought that any color on a GT3 would look good. I was wrong.
Choose wisely my friends.

Interesting. I think these things definitely bear seeing in the flesh, though. I think the camera really does lie in some cases, and people get a little over-enthusiastic with post processing, which doesn't always work.

.2 GT3 to me is one of those rare cars that equally suits solids and metallics.

I haven't seen a color that I haven't liked yet, but then I love unusual colors, so I may not be a great judge.

Default PTS 'Olive'...

I assume you are referring to this photo:



Which is supposed to represent this PTS color:


*
First of all, Will admits that the photo makes the color
seem different than what other modern 'Olive' Porsche
paint looks like:


And by now most of you know that you can't trust
photos to judge how a color will actually look like
to the human eyes on direct view!


****
One of our Rennlisters owned an 'Olive' 981 Spyder
that I considered purchasing when he decided to sell
it. In the end I didn't pull the trigger, but the photos
(albeit take them with that caveat I mentioned earlier)
are stunning & made a huge/positive impression on me.
And hopefully on some of you too! So please, do not
easily dismiss, or write-off, this stunning Porsche color!





But I agree with my friend Haku in one important
point he makes in his post - 'choose wisely'! And
I would choose the beautiful hue called 'Olive'
(color code 274) & be the wiser for it!

I don't typically post rumors, just posting what was read to me, from my trustworthy SA. Maybe he is wrong this time. Time will tell.

It could be $2700 total ($1050 for delivery and $1700 for gas guzzler).

I can understand that with all these crap cell phone cameras and not seeing in person a color might mislead the choice

but what about Exclusive adding to the overall confusion?

This is , by Pag, what Olive green 274 looks like

go figure!!
