Like the former GT2 frunk at least.
It would be nice if those who are confirmed can post a V200, as everyone I know here were all bounced that WP + PTS is a "No Go."

I tried that (without the PTS) and was told no, even on standard colors you only get WP complete with the stripes.
Reason given was that CXX is post-production and paint is production.
Told slight possibility they might allow you to swap hood, but would always leave roof stripes. Left it at that.
I guess that might change if it's a workaround, but seemed very unlikely before.

I am currently at V215 wth PTS and WP confirmed.
My understanding is that it still doesn’t mean anything until Porsche gives final approval for the PTS paint process with Carbon Fibre on same body panels, which is what is holding up this whole thing up. It has been indicated to me that it could take about a month for that decision to be made, but who knows. Personally I choose to take it as a good sign that they haven’t already nixed it, I take it to mean that they are still trying to resolve whatever issue they’re having.

Having painted my wheels gold, and spent time researching and getting samples from powdercoaters who also offered that titanium gold option, I would suggest to not go that route. The powdercoat gives an intense yellow-y cake-y almost dull color, not bright and light like wheels should look. This is irrespective of any clearcoat you apply after. Ifyou're trying to replicate the gold look from the GT2RS weissach that you paint the wheels in order to exactly replicate the original. there is a specific paint color which any body shop has access to call 539 Weiss gold which will get you an exact match, then do a shiny clear coat.

Good news for me, but it’s unfair to everyone else.
Also I was told that there’s also a CXX hold.
Apparently because of the GT3, Germany is overwhelmed with PTS and CXX orders.
