Carlos,
Hmmm, are you prepared to have every square inch of the car repainted? That sure is a pricey proposition. Phil (993RS) had this done and thought it was an arduous enough process that he would never undertake again. If you're not going to have all of the bits and pieces taken off to do a first-class job, would it bother you to see Azurre on the outside but silver in the engine compartment, trunk area, door jambs (the forward part of the door has a lot of nooks and crannies), etc? It would bother the heck out of me.
Azurre is certainly a pretty color. Can't say I care much for the painted wheels, though.
Good luck with whatver you decide to do.

EDIT: I guess I should have mentioned that this is planned concurrently with an engine rebuild, so it would be an engine out, window out (new seals and windshield) and bumpers off respray. Thanks for the head's up, though.
