It's the color of wet Comet cleanser (the bathroom cleaning product).

It may be a new VW Beetle color.

If it is a Porsche color, it looks like either Aetna or Meissen blue to me... Hard to tell with the lighting etc.

Jonathan-- I e-mailed them Monday; no response yet.
Today I sent a new e-mail from a different address, in case my first attempt automatically disappeared into a 'spam filter'

Also, I found the company that probably did the original paint or conversion, & just sent them an e-mail.
I immediately received an automated reply. I'll let you know if I hear anything more!

Damn, long hoods are just great looking cars. I kick myself for selling mine every time I see one. I have a 356 and a 993. I love the 356, but it established I am really a 911 guy...

If a Porsche color, perhaps Aetna or Meissen Blue.

Both from the 356 lineup.



Take care,

I'm thinking not Aetna. Here is an Aetna blue Speedster.
