(different name same paint code).

I am no expert but the Seafoam C2S looks like Ocean Jade to me. The car is similar to one that Truspeed had about a year ago. Same colour, same wheels.

I think you're right. According to expresspaint.com, L25K (code listed in under hood picture) is Ocean Jade. Not the first time this guy has fibbed.

Default Here is mine: pearlessence white

Since it is white, it has the special extra power option from the factory!

Anyone ever hear of mirage metallic? I believe I know someone with a 993 TT in this color. He didn't even know the name of the color as it was a special order by the original owner.

The Mirage Metallic Turbo I saw was all special order, the interior is a cream color with the root wood package. Not for me but it did look very classy all put together.

Default Night Blue metallic

Here's a pic of a night blue metallic 993 (L39C) which I looked at last year whilst hunting for my 993.

Nice colour I thought but not to my config (it's only a MY95 and I was after a MY96+)

Cheers,

Alan

(hope the attachment worked)

Default THE most uncommon paint on a Porsche

RUF advertising gimmick?

i challenge you to find more uncommon paint on a Porsche
or, just follow with the easy "gotta love the curves" / paint stripping / "always did like the hips on a Porsche" / widebody / "makes a funny noise when I start her" / engine tuning / "reminds me to go mow the lawn" jokes,
or, how 'bout replies with your creative paint codes?
