One more:

I think this was a 964 RS color.

Someone should save all these and upload them to this thread before all the links are no longer good.

Even the owner did not want to be seen it in...
That color could work on some older cars but not so much on a 996C4S

And you guys laughed at ME!! Asking $69K for this car is a joke, especially in that color. It's worth $45-47K, period. I guess someone will pay a premium for essentially a new car. Hey, HUGH, you got a great deal on my car!!! (But, I really didn't have to tell you that)!

Lime Pearl Metalic posted on ebay.

If this was a factory color, it should have been a paint to sample.

Default OK I found this gem on my harddrive.

That looks like Natural Brown on a PtS Turquoise Blue 996.2. Anyone know anything here?

Picture looks like it's out West, within a days drive of LA even?

I wonder when there is an order for PTS, does porsche then assign a paint code to the color, what would the sticker under the frunk have on it?

Road Scholars had this one for sale while I was in the process of buying my 40AE in January. It lasted about an hour I think, and was well-priced. That said, I'm not sure I get why someone would shell out the money for PTS and then get gray. To each their own, but if I'm going PTS, it's going to be an historical Porsche hue.
