Well this happened... (finally)
Apologies up front for the terrible quality pics. They are screen captures taken on my phone from a video on instagram. Have not made it to the shop to grab my own photos yet.
After dropping off the car in mid-June, it finally saw color yesterday. Cant wait to see it in person.

OK, here's some better pics I took yesterday. Walking across the shop, I had tunnel vision and completely ignored every Ferrari and Lambo in there.

Wow! That's minty fresh. What was the name of that color? Beautiful.

While I've seen "mint green" 993's, can't say I've ever seen a "jade green" one (have searched high and low). I wanted to pick a color which was a classic Porsche color and "could have" been ordered as a PTS on a 993... but never was.
The color itself is darker and more vibrant than mint green. Mint is a bit more pastel and washed out in direct sunlight.

Proper re spray. What was the original color? Do you also paint the interior cabin?
Must have been hard picking the final color. What other colors did you consider?

It's recently been an official PTS offering the last two years, though Porsche has renamed it "lighter green", much to the ire of vintage Porsche fanatics as they feel "jade green" has historical significance.
