Are they painted silver with Porsche colored center cap crest? Who are you sending them to? West Coast Collision down the street from Porsche San Diego?

Peru Red, code 042. It's a mid-'70's color that was on my '74 911. Very similar to Imola Red. I believe it is on the approved list of 991 PTS colors. If not, it is pending approval.

I viewed Rhodium Silver in the flesh today at Capital Porsche in Tallahassee. As always colors cannot be judged by looking at pictures on the net.
Based on internet pictures I expected the color to be very bright, brilliant, and white.
In person Rhodium Silver was more muted than expected and has a definite blue / violet cast. Completely different feel than either GT Silver or Platinum Silver. The metal flake was very fine, I had to get within 2 feet or so of the finish to see the flakes.

Yes to the first question. Tried WCC but they passed. Apparently getting the lip to look correct is not easy. Was referred to Velvet Touch by someone I trust. Spoke to the owner and sounds like he is going to invest the time to do it right. Have you heard anything good/bad about them?

Recently at the dealership I did see a new white Boxster with platinum wheels with the colored center crest. Looked really good.
