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:

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:
But what do I know? From the photo presented
the RS doesn't look much different that 'GT Silver'.

Yes, this is a very special one. Among the very small batch of PTS 991.1 GT3 RS's that were produced towards the end of the year (that I am also investigating more into). I was first tipped about this from two folks at Beverly Hills Porsche via Instagram. I couldn't believe it at first because as many commenters pointed out, it looked almost indistinguishable from Rhodium Silver in the pictures I received. Even the owner of the Swiss-registered Liquid Metal Chrome Blue 918 Eduardo posted above insisted to me this can't be it. Then I was tipped by the dealer that it belongs to a very VIP Porsche enthusiast that everyone here is certainly aware of. No soup for you! And I only mention this because he was seen recently in public with this RS in Malibu for brunch, so I'm off the hook here. With New York plates - you must know by now.
As to the paint job itself, $$$$$$. Likely to be the highest MSRP RS, at least in North America. As per Bev Hills Porsche, confirmed to be 1 of 1 for the RS. Bearing in mind the $63K Porsche charged for it on the 918, as well as the more laborious than usual feasibility test Porsche probably conducted for this color on the 991, you might have a better idea of the final tally.
Will they bake the paint, our top paint shop brings the temp up to 165 deg F to cure the paint. They have a new state of the art paint booth that runs through varied temperature changes..
Yes - the paint shop is fully kitted out. They've done quite a few cars now to very high standards (as mentioned earlier i've seen the results with "Woppums" RS, and my own 924CGT).
Have been away for a week so car has been in prep, waiting for me to approve the "spray out" samples. They were waiting for me when I got home, and I've checked they match my other Arrow Blue car....so should be all systems go next week.
