Somehow, I've never pondered 911's and military paint schemes in the same thought. I must be getting too old to understand the newer fashions.

very cool coleman---

i like it. very industrial & badass lookin. no nonsense.

btw: wonder if there's a 'drag' to using flat paint that could be measured in a wind-tunnel.

if it's a foil/wrap... wonder where you can get it? & colors avail. maybe a military product? (be great if ya never had to wax!)

i'd like to see that car next to a few shiny 'tt's'.

And if you can't make up your mind between two colors, say black and orange, you can do both like this.

(Phil, I think this could be a new graphics package for your car.)

Peelable paint...like in Johnny Dangerously when they have duckies-and-bunnies paint they peel off? Or like this: http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=0...33254&from=rss

Ahhhhhhhhhh. Nothing like Tiger Stripe camo. It's my understanding they quit using it because it was too intimidating. Intimidating ?????

The pic was taken in the paddock at Rennsport Reunion.

I do like the grass painted on the spoiler.

Considering Porsche's history with the development of the turret for the Tiger tanks in WWII you could think of it as a retro fashion, no? Which leads me to the irony of the Exxon "Tiger" livery...
