does anyone else feel white is just as bad as black to keep up?

white hides the swirls, but white also shows so much that black hides.

GT Silver or grey next for me.

Next to the GT2RS

Went for an epic drive this weekend! Here’s a few shots.

You can spot some big boy cars including a brand new Speedster Heritage, 997 GT3RS 4.0, and GT2RS.

loving the car...ready for some upgrades now. 😁

Based on your comments in the other thread about being admittedly way too OCD... I'd have to disagree. I think white shows dirt for sure, and maybe a little worse than some of the other shades, but nowhere near most others, particularly darks. White may show the grime around the edges of PPF a lot. But that is because you have PPF! It's a trade off for sure... Any color can drive you mad if you let it, mano! Enjoy!

IMHO, from experience: best to worst - Agate Grey, GT Silver, white, black.

Gray shows swirls more than Silver though. higher contrast.

that said, and it may be a traditionally boring color on most cars, nothing shows the lines of a 911 better than silver. gray a close second.

i've always liked white cars, my 981 GTS was white, but it's very difficult to keep the depth of white up, and otherwise looks a bit dull. i get what the previous poster means.... it's not that white shows dirt or imperfections more, but very difficult to get and maintain depth out of white. Carrara White Metallic is a different story.

Making the most of quarantine by installing an AWE Switchpath on my T. Check out the video if it is something you have been thinking about!

My best guess is that it is the Fikse Profii 10: https://www.fikse.com/portfolio/fikse-profil-10/

Thanks - good spot, after some research this afternoon I thought they might be Fikse FM10, hadn’t seen those ones, they look pretty similar!

Magnificent color! Porsche picked some great special colors and they look even better on the T with the grey contrasts.

Lava can be hit or miss depending on the light. No miss here!
