Default Any paint-to-sample orders or examples?

I was interested in seeing any examples of paint-to-sample 997s that may be running about. (Hey, I have to find some way to entertain myself while I wait on my Spetember-build!)

There are reports of a lime green 997 in the Napa area and I have seen the pure orange pics posted here. Has anyone seen any others?

During a recent tech session in San Jose, the hosting dealer had a 997 on the lift which was painted in VW Platinum Gray. No one seemed to notice it because it looked exactly like Seal Gray.

Has anyone here placed an order with an off-list color?

Mike Valentine (of Valentine One fame) posts on the CGT forum and has a stunning Carrera GT in his signature color, Signal Yellow (same as his 996 TT and prior cars). He has posted pics in that forum.

I wonder Porsche would accept orders of using those Standox colors (color changes in different angle).

Well, I wouldn't hate to see her on top of a Porsche either. The colour of the car is not important anymore in that case

I saw an electric PINK one the other day. Some old guy has been buying his cars in that colour since 1990 - its his signature colour apparently!
