Pulling out of the indy with some fresh engine and transaxle oil.

Mine is shiny enough, but has zero depth. Worst black paint ever.

My '92 however is a mile deep. DOH!

Lapis blue. It's a nice blue-purple metallic, but damn hard to properly show in photos.

I love it more than the Midnight Blue Metallic that I have. My MBM can look this light at times but very rarely ;(

Thanks! I got it a month ago, bought unseen, and it's growing on me for sure. MBM seems to be deeper, which must be stunning in person.

Mine is Aqua Blue Metallic,... which seems to be very close to your Lapis Blue. I would love to see them side-by-side to understand how they differ. I don't see any purple hint to my ABM tho, so maybe that's where it lies.

I've seen a Pantone Blue on a GT2RS, which could actually be much closer to your Lapis.

Have you seen San Marino Blue Metallic. That one seems to be closer to my Aqua. When you start listing them all out, there are a lot of bright blue Porsche metallic colors out there.

I also love the Gentian Blue Metallic in the 992 now too. Bad Boys for life movie showcased it on the C4S.

We need a "Blue" expert to chime in here & tell us all the differences

Gentian Blue Metallic 992... happened to see it back in November when I picked up my '09 911. Thought the color was really nice...

this is always informative if you haven't seen it: https://www.rennbow.org/colorwiki

although it seems to be missing all the beautiful blues you mention. Pantone Blue looks terrific!
