Default Anyone ordering paint to sample here?

Curious if anyone is ordering PTS on at least the GT3? If so what color?

Yeah,... I'm thinking Oslo Blue if P will do it and if I ever get my allotment and I have the patience to wait it out ..

However, I am a big fan of Midnight Blue and if the new color 'Dark Blue Metallic' is close I may turn..

Then again I might go basic, then add a wrap (on part of the car) ...

Or I could just let the Wife decide

looking forward to pics of that -- I saw an Atlas 997.1 Turbo yesterday and it was drop dead gorgeous (and I really dislike all the vents and bug eye driving lights and Saleen gills on the Turbo ...)

Do you know how long that will put on your delivery date?

I inquired on Riv yesterday. The response:

The order would have to be in sometime in the next few weeks. To have custom paint it would have to be on a February or January build. Custom paint can add up to 6 months delivery time, but I would expect it to be built before June so worst case should be delivery in July or August. Being as it is a colour that has existed in Porsche’s system, I suspect it would be a bit sooner than that.

I wonder why Porsche no longer makes Polar silver. I love that color.

Atlas is a "special paint" color, not a "paint to sample" color. Therefore no delay for Atlas.

Hmmmm, invoice says:

"Metallic Paint to Sample"......."$5,500"

So it might be "Special Paint" but the invoice, and the price is "Metallic Paint to Sample"
