Vic-- FWIW, spg993tt (Steve) traded his red 993 TTS (formerly owned by Michael Jordan) for the Pearl White 964 flatnose Turbo.

The article said the paint process was so toxic that Porsche was only allowed to do a few per year, and I think the option cost was something like $15k. Not sure if this is the same car or not.

I bought a pearl white pearlescent Audi, and I had to get district level authorization to even order it-it was a several thousand dollar option. They told me it could be up to a year to get it, as they have to totally change over the paint booth area as the process is so different from regular paint application. I think that Porsche probably had a similar deal, except there were a lot less clients buying 993 and 993TT's than Audi A4's.
