Does anyone have a link to the early “Porsche film”. I don’t think I’ve seen it. Whether it’s GT or Dolomite. Both are awesome!

Love it! This is the color I'm leaning towards (albeit on a coupe). Would prefer Mexico Blue, but don't want the additional time and tariff of PTS. I know MB is not super popular, and that it will be worse for resale, but as others have said, buy a car for yourself not for the next owner.

Saw Dolomite for the first time here at the LA auto show... definitely has a lot of blue in it. After seeing it in the flesh, I’m sticking with GT Silver.

I changed my choice to Miami Blue just before locking. It’s a bold choice, but really looks nice. Certainly pops, gets lots of compliments.

Some really nice looking cars. When it's time to order my Targa, choosing a color is going to be really hard.

If you find you can’t live with it, you can get that top stained black.

A decent chandler will have a boat canopy dye/treatment that will (with careful application) work. I’ve turned a blue canopy black before, and brought many old car hoods back from the dead with a canopy dye/reviver.

You could DIY but it’s probably smarter to get a pro-shop to do it (either a car shop or a boat canopy maker) in order to avoid uneven patches or overlap lines.

End result should be nearly indistinguishable from factory black. Periodic refresh with the renovator will be needed if you keep it outside but it’s not an onerous job once it’s done first time - like waxing a car after washing.
