...paint the whole tub. FF to 1:35:


BTW, that PDK gearbox is huge. No wonder it weighs so much more than manual.

Do they paint the whole tub when stock paint is ordered? Otherwise nothing to do with PTS....

I can't watch any video with that guy in it. His voice is so bad, I'd rather get waterboarded by Richard Simmons.

Not Cups. They occasionally paint a handful of Cups in a color other than white - red, black, yellow, etc - and the whole body-in-white is done.

Does make you question the PTS price for a simple over-spray...

Been this way for a while. Pull the interior out of a 996 and there is only over spray inside

All done the same way, I saw the same process for 997.

Yes, YES, oh god, that guy's voice is the actual worst. Like, I actually picture popping my own eardrums with knitting needles when I hear him. Seriously.

I personally am not a shmee fan either but he does have a lot of followers and i do get the impression he is not short of a dollar ,,a lot of the premier car manufacturers seem to like his reviews also ,,I don,t get it possible generation gap but the guy seems to be popular ..
In regards to the original PTS question as far as I no it make no difference to the way the car is painted it only a none standard color ...
