Default Silver- Grey M3

I have a silver-grey m3 coupe and am not sure what color 997 Carrera S I am going to order and was wondering if Porsche makes an exterior that resembles the silver-grey. Does anyone know? Thanks.

Seal should be close enough. I prefer Slate, but that might be too dark for you. Slate and paint to sample are $3k colors.

Go for GT silver metallic, fomerly restricted to the Carrera GT and 40th anniv 911 and 550 edition Boxster. A shade darker than arctic and less brownish. I believe its an option for the 997. I get comments on it alot.

Gt SIlver or Atlas Grey for sure! These are the 2 best colors out there now!

I really like the Ferrari Titano Giorgio (sp?). I think that would be a killer color.

Special Paint (Slate Grey Metalic)= $3070

Paint to Sample Colors= $4315 This option usually results in a production delay of 3 to 6 months.Not all color request can be fulfilled and Porsche may require the customer or dealership to supply a paint sample or paint code in order to conduct feasibility testing

one issue I find with these grey/silver variant cars - they blend in with the color of the road surface pavement. it may sound crazy, but cars in these hues are not very visible to other drivers on the road, as they blend in too much with asphalt/concrete colors.

That's what they said about James Dean's Porsche aka "The Little Bastard".
