Default Color change, if so what and why?

If you were going to change the color of your Pcar what color would you choose and why? I am very curious to see the color choices folks would chose. I would love a Maritime Blue 964 - I know they are very rare - They just look amazing!

What about Riviera Blue? Rare as well and I am partial of course. It gets looks and coments everywhere I go. And when I take he car to a P-car event I am always the only one there with that color. The same can be said for Maritime Blue as well. IMHO I feel Rivi Blue shows better.

I think I would do Zenith Blue. I am partial to blue and I have a blue interior.

I would go with the orange from the GT3RS. My first car was an orange VW bus and I don't think I ever got over it. I don't know if I'd want the attention associated with orange, however- I've gotten more comments on my Phoenix Yellow M3 in 6 months than on my 993 in six years!

There are 2 colors I'd consider: Orange (somebody did that. xxxTango? ) or Nogaro (audi RS Blue) like SpartanS4:

Tangerine, Fly Yellow, flat Charcoal or Vesuvius Metallic

BTW has anyone on Rennlist done a vinyl skin job on their car?

The only time I would even consider doing a colour change would be as part of a complete teardown/rebuild similar to 9M's RS/CS ++ project last year. At that point I'd have a tough time deciding between Riviera/Turquoise/Nogaro Blue, some shade of orange, or Viper Green (Kelly Green?). Probably go with the green.

Moffat is right. I forgot all about the greens. Signal Green is awesome.

I'd go Glacier White. Because my Grand Prix White is just so red.

I went from black to metallic black because a) black is tough to keep nice b) metallic black is rare and looks more interesting and c) the transition from black to met black is not so radical that traces of the old paint will be noticable or look tacky.
