I'm trying really, really, really hard. Honest. Been thinking about this night and day. Trouble is, I just can't get excited about painting the car grey.

its a light green (like a tennis ball) - sorry for the crappy phone pic, looks yellow in the photo, but green in person. Would go well with the brown interior

Well, that kind of leaves you back at the beginning with Jelly Bean Green ..

JP, I'm not quite sure if Porsches were meant to be painted that shade of green?

I don't know about that. I'd feel a little self conscious driving one to work, but I'd have a hard time kicking a Viper Green (or any of the similar shades) 911/964/993/etc. out of the garage!

Viper Green is very, very cool. But that Jelly Bean Green is not so nice! Not for me anyway...

Agreed Colin. It needs to be a bright colour. Giallo FLY with Triple Magenta inserts on the RS seats, red seatbelts . How about the RS Blue that was on the GT2?

Green, eh?

Hmmm, I wonder. Could I persuade Marc to paint it Amazon Green?

I have written that one week ago, that color is not so extreme, it's suites the 964/993 perfectly.

Slate grey with red interior. That's what you want.

Pretty color, but I'd bet Marc might think it too conservative, maybe not. And what interior color would you go with? I'd have a tendency to want black with that ... What about Granite Green (1988 L699)? Cross between Slate Grey and Aventurine ... kind of the best of both worlds really .. changes dramatically in different light:
