Venetian Blue PTS Not Available
I do not see 'Venetian Blue Metallic' on the
approved list dated 5/30/2017. I know there
is a new list out in past week or so. Maybe it
is listed there. But usually you would see it
months ahead as it's being tested. It would
have been listed as undergoing 'Feasibility
Study' but not yet approved or denied. Can
you tell us what the color code 'Venetian'
has now per your information & when you
were told that color was approved for the
991 by PAG. The color code might be
numbered '35V', '35U' or '36P'. But double
check & get confirmation the color is indeed
approved!

Eduardo, you were correct. My dealer would not even ask Porsche USA if Venetian Blue was approved until I put down a $1K deposit after he told me he could get that color. He got an email from Porsche yesterday saying Venetian Blue is not approved and to stick with the approved list. Not sure why my SA or dealer doesn't have the "approved" list. Thanks again for your help and insight.

And yes, Eduardo has a wealth of information he has graciously shared with many here, myself included.
Venetian is a terrific color, so that's too bad. If you have the time, maybe you could request a feasibility study?

Only two dealers within 350 miles of my location, but your point is valid. Can a customer request a "feasibility study"? Is there a fee? I am not in a huge rush and it seems to be a popular color. Thanks

Let me know if you received it!
& did not even have an approved PTS list
at the dealership ahead of informing his
client that he could order a 'Venetian Blue',
I doubt he would be a reliable conduit for
a color feasibility study request to PAG in
Germany. But you never know...
new Targa? And tell us more re: the LTS
'Black' leather in your car! We need to see
more photos (including close-ups of the
leather)! Was it worth it? You are the first
person I know in the US that ordered it!

You are welcome. I also sent you a pm.
Let me know if you received it!
If his dealer was this clueless about PTS
& did not even have an approved PTS list
at the dealership ahead of informing his
client that he could order a 'Venetian Blue',
I doubt he would be a reliable conduit for
a color feasibility study request to PAG in
Germany. But you never know...
Good point. I did love my '87 Carrera in VB though.
Thank you Keadog! How are you liking your
new Targa? And tell us more re: the LTS
'Black' leather in your car! We need to see
more photos (including close-ups of the
leather)! Was it worth it? You are the first
person I know in the US that ordered it!

My shop has just finished the PPF, Opti,window tint and we decided to add a custom stripe to contrast with the bright birch color. I haven't seen it yet in person but I like the effect.
