I'm thinking of that color to my 993TT.. Would be great with aero windscreen, 997 headlights, no rain gutters and bronze Volk wheels..

Beautiful it is.

Tuning seems to be worth nothing if 100-200kph improves exactly 0.0 seconds despite 40 additional horses...

There is a company here that puts films of this satin black on cars (ala 3M protection film) and it looks exactly like paint. I have seen a 996 with it on and it did not look nice. It needs dramatic angles on a car to look nice IMO, like a Lambo that I saw. It cost around $1500 for the car if I am not mistaken, and obviously can be peeled off anytime.

I saw the treatment (paint) on a special edition Cayman and it looked AMAZING.

That Carrera GT with Satin Black color truly looks absolutely stunning but maybe that color in 993TT doesn't look as good..

Jean, what exterior color do you recommend for my car?
I have now new bronze wheels and CF brakes and first I thought Cobalt blue color but that won't look good on those wheels set..
maybe shiny metal black is best?
Interior color is dark brown and black plus many CF parts.

I think that Cobalt is a good plan. If the wheels don't look good with Cobalt you can always spray them silver.
I used to have a black NSX with TE-37's and after a while sprayed them silver which I ended up preferring.
Very impressed with the brakes.

Didn't we have a Rennlister in U.K Leon-*something* with a Ruf conversion of a 993TT in that colour?

*regarding the Gemballa, I somehow dislike that brand - so it doesn't matter what they design, I still get a bitter taste*

Then I hope that this "black magic color" also makes my 700hp engine to last..

It definately looks very fast in black.

I wonder if Matt black has the same aerodynamic qualities that gloss black has?

Can it be picked up on Radar or is this the stealth bomber paint.
