Do it man,why not! Just don't start a disco in your R like the last brave man coming from England did. Also no Lambo doors and under car neon lights.
Enjoy and congrats!
In the meantime, my R has gone back
to Porsche GB, who are going to strip
it back to the shell and repaint in Arrow
Blue (same as 918). My late allocation
meant that there was no chance of PTS
at the time...

If you don't mind, Footsoldier, let us
explore this statement further since
many readers here at Rennlist are
curious about the cost of doing a
total quality repaint on a brand
new Porsche 991!
A bit of history here. Standard PTS
(the least expensive version) on the
918 was around US$ 21,000. At a
time when PTS on a 991 was then
just $5500! And as I have always said,
the right PTS on the right Porsche
model is one of the wisest investment
choices on any Porsche custom order!
And thus, I assume the cost of PTS on
your beautiful 'Arrow Blue', which is an
easier to do for PAG Solid/Uni color,
cost you the equivalent of $US21K:
+
Some 'difficult-to-do-for-PAG' metallic colors -
like 'Pagani Red', 'Pearl White', 'Giallo Orion'
& 'Mirage/Paladio Metallic' (below) - were
priced at US$49,000 by PAG on the 918*:
*And two special colors offered exclusively
on the 918, 'Liquid Metal Chrome Blue' &
'Liquid Metal Silver' were around US$63K
each...but they are not considered PTS.
+
And the multi-color PTS with a customized
design (like the one below) were priced at
...well, let's just say 'très cher'!
I find it difficult to believe that a total repaint to
PAG factory specs at Porsche UK Reading will
cost the equivalent of US$21000! It that is the
actual price, I will hire these guys (my suffering
compatriots) to put my '73 914 2.0 behind their
truck & take it to England for a proper quality
repaint job in 'Ravenna Green'!
+
If Porsche Reading's price is around the equivalent
of US$49,000, it might perhaps start to make sense!
Please clarify (in general terms) the approx. costs
of these repaints since you raised the topic in your
post...and we are all curious!

Regardless, I am left 'speechless' over what you
are doing!
You're a better man than I am, Footsoldier!

I love your '924 Carrera GT'! Derek B. has
one in GB too. It made for an impressive
picture when they where all built together
for homologation purposes & lined-up in
Germany before being shipped out! It is
one of my all time favorite photos:
Sadly, I turned down one when they
were offered for sale in the US by the
US importer at a very reasonable
(low) price.
They were having a hard time selling
them off at the time, believe it or not.
Speaking of interesting paint jobs, apparently Liquid Metal Chrome Blue has been done as PTS on a 991 RS. Likely the only example of this paint colour by Porsche in a car other than a 918. I wonder what the PTS cost for that would have been for that RS! Below, as reported by Will (ptsrs) on his IG:

Darn it, Daniel. Are you back from your
trip to the most romantic city in the world,
Paris, with your lovely wife? I am glad at
least your survived the dangerous bite of
a Great White in South Africa!
By the way, I hope Will does chime in on this
photo reported as a 'Liquid Metal Chrome Blue'
991 gt3 RS (below).
As you all know, photos often 'lie' about what a
color truly looks like to the naked eye. When I
think of 'Liquid Metal Chrome Blue', I remember
a metallic color with a slight, but significant, blue
tint in its lovely, albeit expensive, metallic paint:
The above are confirmed 'Liquid Metal Chrome Blue'
paint on the 918. The 991 gt3 RS above looks more
like 'Liquid Metal Silver' (if indeed a Liquid Metal) like
the one I posted in Rennlist several years ago at The
Thermal during a 918 test ride I attended there:
Thanks Footsoldier...I'm now thinking about painting my R in Brewster Green! We should start a new breed of PTS, perhaps we should call these PPPTS (Post Production Paint To Sample)!

I remember seeing a few years ago a CGT that was painted in liquid metal silver I think at Porsche Reading. Or at least I think it was liquid metal as it was not Polar Silver or GT Silver which could be easily compared by 2 other GTs around. Colour was much deeper than Polar (which was better than GT) and looked superb.

Seems very sensible to me!
Drop me a PM if you want any info.

Do it!! BG is an awesome color and very fitting with the R ethos! Of course, I'm biased
