Nice ride!! I'm becoming more and more attracted to that aqua blue.

FrankyV

Thanks. I love all the different Porsche blues and haven't seen many aqua blue cars with the stone grey, which I prefer over the more popular sand beige.

Very nice Frank!

Just saw a new Aqua blue Cayman @ the dealer on Friday. What a beautiful color. Pictures just don't do it justice. Way more stunning in person.

Enjoy your new ride.

Congrats on the car! Are you a 100% sure it's Aqua? No disrespect intended but Aqua is a deeper and a darker tone. This looks more like Cobalt .

That's what I'm saying about pics do not do the color justice. If you look again at the interior pic that shows the painted center console, it does look like aqua.

I would check the color code to double check, unless I already saw the original sticker.

Whatever color it is, it's gorgeous!
Congrats on the new ride. Enjoy it...how could you not?

Sticker says Color code L999

It's a beautiful car. I have the same steering wheel and thought it wasn't available on the '09s and later cars. Love that blue!

Thinking the same thing...

Anywho, Congrats on your new ride!

The gas tank door says the color is 3E5, which is not listed in the 2009 order book, not even under paint to sample, so I have no idea what the color is. The order book seems to indicate Cobalt Blue was not a standard color in 2009. Option label code has a "99" which indicates paint to sample.

"Per Glasurit the factory name and paint code is the following:

PORSCHE ESTORILLBLAU MET 3E5 2008-2009"

Thanks for that information, Estoril Blue metallic it is, which does not appear as a standard color in the 2009 US order guide. That explains the Paint To Sample code 99 on the option label.

Out of curiosity how close is this Estoril Blue to the BMW Estoril Blue? The BMW version is stunning!
